Lincoln University academics are often in the community sharing their knowledge and research.
In early November, Lincoln University Professor Derrick Moot, head of the Dryland Pastures Research Programme, will be speaking at two Beef and Lamb New Zealand Innovation Farm Field Day clover events.
The Innovation Farm Programme, in Hawke’s Bay on 3 November, is aimed at farmers who want to identify tools and practices that will result in financial improvements. It focuses on developing new knowledge innovation and delivers results that can be picked up by both early adopters and high-performing farmers.
The field day event, in Masterton on 4 November, will share learnings from the research programme around how to manage sub clovers to lift the productivity of uncultivable East Coast hill country. The event will cover the importance of site selection and provide key tips for managing sub clover at different times of the year.
Professor Moot’s work with legumes has transformed farm practices in New Zealand and internationally.
As legumes are a key driver of production, increasing clover content will lift ewe milk production.
