‘My Grass’ roadshow on way to the county
THE Sinclair McGill “My Grass” roadshow, in association with Kellihers Feed and Agri Supplies, will take place in Listowel and Milltown on March 21.
The Roadshow will help farmers achieve the Teagasc Grass10 target of 10 grazing’s and 10 tonne+ of grass grown per hectare. Farmers will be given the chance to have their fresh grass samples analysed using mobile NIRS Lab technology in order to gauge quality. Detailed results will be shared, along with expert recommendations on grass quality and reseeding; allowing producers to maximise efficiency and reduce production costs.
The My Grass Roadshow takes place with merchants throughout the country from the 13th – 24th March. The events are free to attend and no pre-registration is required. The events take place in Listowel at 10:30am and in Miltown Community Centre at 2:30pm. Farmers can contact John Lynch for more information on 086 813 6865 or visit www.dlf.ie, email info@dlf.ie or tweet Sinclair McGill @SMGIRE.
“So, come along with your fresh grass samples and increase your chances of doing well in the Grass 10 challenge; and ultimately improve your profitability in the process,” Mr Lynch said.
Vouchers will also be available on the day to those who wish to invest Sinclair McGill going forward.
Sinclair McGill is distributed by DLF in Ireland. Sinclair McGill use NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) to measure the nutritional attributes of every mixture component in order to produce a grass mixture with the perfect balance of digestible fibre (DNDF), sugars ( WSC), protein and high metabolisable energy, leading to optimum conversion of grass intake to animal performance. Sinclair McGill’s LGAN (LG Animal Nutrition) accredited mixtures are formulated to ensure more grass from every mouthful is utilised and converted to milk or meat.
