Great article on water pollution by @hqmulligan
'McConalogue, the Minister, insists that higher stocking rates on Irish dairy farms and better-quality rivers and streams are possible, but few outside of the dairy business agree.'

Multi species sward huge co- benefits for biodiversity and water quality as demonnstrated at recent @mulkear Farm Walk on @martincrowe #biodiversity #waterquality @EIPAGRI_SP
A busy Red-tailed Bumblebee moving from flower to flower on sweetly scented White clover.
It's a great native plant for pollinators on farmland.

Excellent scientific research #waterquality #biodiversity
Here is the data on how much sediment is caught by various widths of riparian buffers. 5m is really the minimum to aim for. From: doi-org.ucd.idm.oclc.org/10.…

Delighted to have ye today and your fascinating stand with all the the little creatures the live in our local watercourses
Great turnout at Martin Crowe's farm for the @mulkear EIP Open Day - talks and farm walk.
Knowledge and experiences shared by farmers implementing environmental measures - better for farming; better for nature.
#LAWPRO delighted to bring a focus on #WaterQuality
To date, 65 @mulkear eip farmers have implemented 239 measures to protect, improve and enhance the environment. @SS_Lavery @EIPAGRI_SP @WatersProgramme
Knowing your soil nutrient profile and liming to get the right soil pH is key to maximising your clover crop. Great advice from @martincrowe @gearoid_maher
It was great to hear from @martincrowe on his positive experience of multi species grasslands for his pedigree British friesan cow. Tasty! 🐄🐄🐄

White clover stitched into the grazing paddock to reduce fertilizer input, while meeting the requirements for a dairy herd. Thanks to Martin Crowe for the demonstration and @mulkear for the open day.
