Increasing grass utilized by 1t DM/ha increased net profit by 105 euro per hectare (O'Leary, Geoghegan & O'Donovan., 2016)

Dr. Sinclair Mayne, Chief Executive of AFBI, highlighted how average levels of grass utilisation are "disappointingly low" -7,5t DM/ha on dairy farms and 4.1t DM/ha on beef and sheep farms (Doran., 2017)

Selling more kilos of beef per hectare of land is seen by part-time farmer Conor Greene as the best way to drive profitability (Moran., 2016)

The health of our soil is a key component to the efficient utilization of soil nutrients in the production of food in an environmental and sustainable manner (Teagasc, 2017)
