Introduction

Welcome to the Glanbia Mastercrop Grass and forage Seed Brochure 2020

With Ireland’s mild, moist and changeable climate it provides us with a significant advantage to grow abundant, quality grass with the ability to produce milk and meat naturally at low cost. A recent Glanbia Ireland milk supplier survey indicates that milk volumes will grow by a further 24% from now until 2024. A key enabler of this growth will be further optimising grass production and utilisation. There is the potential to significantly increase the amount of grass grown and hit the Teagasc 10T target of 10 tonnes of DM/ha/year utilised.

The Mastercrop name is synonymous with quality, choice and value for money and the 2020 range of grass seed mixtures certainly delivers on all these criteria.

All Mastercrop products are backed by Glanbia’s extensive retail network and highly professional agronomic advisory service.

Optimising grassland on farm is one of the most economical means to produce milk and beef.

In order to achieve quality grass, it is important to put a full programme in place of quality fertiliser, grass seed and post emergence sprays.
