Sainfoin Nutritional Analysis - Agricology Vlog Sept 18

In this months Agricology vlog, Richard Smith (Farm Manager at Daylesford Organic Farm) gives an update on the nutritional analysis that was carried out on a juvenile Sainfoin crop. He discusses how many cuts he has had from the crop this year and the analysis from each crop. He also talks about how well the Sainfoin has withstood the drought like conditions and how - now he has taken the 3rd cut- he will now top the sainfoin with fattening lambs
