This is a great opportunity to have a walk around Richard Kershaw's cropping operation and ask any questions you may have on cash cropping.

• Richard Kershaw is a knowledgeable and experienced arable grower, growing: maize, cereals and seed crops. He also finishes lambs and cattle.
• If you have drench resistance, FE hot spots and other animal health challenges limiting production and profitability, integrating a cash cropping enterprise may be a good opportunity for you. Great chance to learn a bit more about these crops and what goes into growing them.
• If you are looking at ways to diversify your livestock revenue streams, lets explore that opportunity for you.

FAR and SIRC researchers will lead the discussion on late spring cereal and seed management.

You get to walk the crops and ask all the questions you like !
