Climate Resilient Farms E4 – Farmer Champions Chicory for Health #landcare #farming #wetlands

Andrew Irvine runs a beef farm near Peterborough. He has been restoring wetlands, fencing off bush and trialing mixed species pasture. Cocksfoot, or Dactylis glomerata, is a mainstay of Andrew’s pasture. It is suited to low fertility and acidic soils. Kirsty Hawkes visited him in May 2022.
