Conversation Beneath The Trees

S2 E5 - The role of trees in dairy farming


Listen Later

In this episode we hear from Lindsay Whistance and David Kerr who discuss the day-to-day operations of a dairy farm and how agroforestry can support and strengthen it. We chat about milking systems in the UK, Ireland and beyond, whether there are any “easy wins” in terms of agroforestry for busy farmers and the types of tree fodder that can naturally benefit cattle on the farm.
