Supporting Livestock in the Arable Rotation

Back to news

In the ever-evolving landscape of modern agriculture, livestock integration into arable farm rotations is gaining traction for its many benefits. Recently, the Farmers Guardian shed light on the Marris’ collaboration with Buitelaar Group and the advantages the partnership brings to their diverse farming operations.

There’s a growing body of evidence emphasising the advantages of incorporating livestock; improved soil health, enhanced weed management, and increased field productivity are among the notable benefits highlighted by AHDB.

For many arable farmers, acquiring livestock presents a significant hurdle and the need for working capital to purchase cattle can be daunting; potentially hindering the seamless integration of livestock into their operations.

Bed & Breakfast Schemes:

Our bed and breakfast scheme is designed to address the challenges arable farmers face when incorporating livestock. Nick Marris emphasises the scheme’s dual benefits, stating, “Clearly, avoiding the working capital requirement to buy the cattle is a significant factor, but as it turns out, the guidance is equally valuable.”

This offers arable farmers more than access to livestock; it provides a comprehensive solution tailored to enhance farm productivity and sustainability. By participating in the bed and breakfast scheme, farmers like the Marris Family can tap into the team’s wealth of knowledge and support, allowing them to optimise their arable rotations.
