No-till and mob-grazing

Resource explained
In this podcast Hertfordshire arable farmer John Cherry talks about his experiences of converting to no-till and mob grazing – with reference to managing black-grass and renewed fertility in the soil. You can hear about the effect it has had on the bottom line even in low-yielding years.
