A Welsh dairy farm is capturing 4,100 litres of milk from forage since improving grassland management. Bryn Farm at Tremeirchion, Denbighshire, is farmed by three generations – Ivor Hughes, his son Dilwyn, and grandson Aled Potts. Aled joined the business after first studying agriculture at Llysfasi College and later dairy farm management at Reaseheath College and was keen to apply some of the knowledge he had gained. The business is in the process of changing its milk production profile from all year-round calving to an autumn block and systems have been put in place to capture more value from the grass grown on the 81-hectare (200 acre) holding.
