Swindon Farm Demo Walk
September 17 @ 10:00 - 14:00
Explore how to use your farm carbon audit to make informed decisions for your business
Join us for a farm walk and discussion at Andy Rumming’s farm near Swindon.
The farm walk will include:
- Rainwater harvest tanks
- Cattle – including Andy’s approach to improving productivity without increasing inputs
- Biomass boiler – including Andy’s learnings from running the boiler for five years and what he would do differently if he was to install one today
At the event you’ll hear about Andy’s experience of completing three carbon audits using different tools and getting three very different results. He’ll share his reflections on the process, including his considerations around whether or not to sell carbon credits.
What you’ll take home:
- Honest insight into farm carbon auditing and how to use the information to inform decision making
- Learn about options for improving cattle productivity via fertility and culling decisions
- Discuss options for adapting to changing weather patterns and improving farm energy security
- Meet other farmers interested in the same issues and benefit from sharing reflections and ideas
