SUMMARY:Cornish Farm Feast
DESCRIPTION:Farmers of Cornwall: \nYou are invited to half a day of feasting\, discussing and sharing experiences to build on the valuable work we have already started with our Alt-Soya project over the last 12 months. \nAlt-Soya is a farmer-led collaboration to explore the practicalities and potential for developing a more local livestock feed network. \nWe have discovered that alternatives to soya are already being used successfully in Cornwall\, with a fine example being a partnership between neighbouring farmers to grow lupins for chicken feed. This partnership has led to a reduction in soil depletion\, improved soil structure\, increased biodiversity\, lower carbon emissions\, increased resilience\, and a high quality protein feed rich in amino acids for healthy egg production. \nSome exciting future collaborations between farmers are already planned\, and we now want to build on this in the coming year to explore further ideas for developing a more circular approach to livestock feed in the County. \nThe challenges facing the farming community in Cornwall are many and varied\, so we are facilitating this event to share experiences and information on topics such as: \n\nIncreasing farmers’ resilience\nReducing dependence on volatile commodities (and their associated costs)\nFood security\nSoil health\nNet Zero\n\nWe will hear from Cornish farmers about what they have done to increase their resilience and adapt to the changes in the farming world. \nJoin us on 27 March for a few hours of discussion\, debate and delicious locally produced food. \nTime: 4.30-8pm \nVenue: The Conference Room\, Cornwall Farm Machinery\, Deer Park\, Trewaters\, Trispen\, TR4 9BE \nClick website below to register your place!

SUMMARY:Beetles\, butchery and bye -Dung beetles and a healthy livestock system
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this last event on the Pasture and Profit in Protected Landscapes series. We’ll have a day with the brilliant Sally-Ann Spence as well as looking at the butchery at Higher Keigwin\, touring the farm and connecting with likeminded food producers. \nWe’ll be treated to Heigher Keigwin minced beef burgers and a hearty soup for lunch as well as a warm fire. \nSally-Ann will take us on a deep dive into our farm ecology and how it can really work for us. We’ll explore: \nWhat are dung beetles & what do they do for us? We don’t generally think of what happens to the dung in our fields or if our native dung beetle populations are thriving. But what if we lost these insects and the ecosystem functions they perform? Join us for a informative workshop to learn what dung beetles do for us and what we can do for them… \nAbout the Event \nJust how important are dung beetles in our livestock systems and what are they doing beyond removing dung? We generally don’t think of the tiny insect communities based around the dung piles in our fields and these include our native dung beetles. But what if we loose these beetles? What effect would it have on our livestock\, pastures\, soil and farm biodiversity? By gaining an understanding of dung beetles we can implement small changes in our management decisions that could have much wider benefits for biodiversity in general\, the environment & livestock health including sustainable parasite plans to minimise chemical dependence. \nWe’ll begin the day by introducing our native dung beetles with a presentation and a selection of specimens. The presentation will highlight the ecosystem functions of these economically important pastoral insects\, their ecology\, their threats and the potential practical changes in management required for their conservation. \nAfter the presentation there will be a practical session enabling the opportunity for a dung dive out in the field. This will demonstrate how to identify and monitor the dung beetle populations by a simple surveying methodology enabling you to try for yourself on your own farm. \nAbout the facilitator \nSally-Ann Spence FRES FLS \nSally-Ann Spence is a scientist\, presenter\, farmer\, entomologist and a Fellow of both the Royal Entomological Society and the Linnaean Society. Recently awarded the British Entomology and Natural History Society’s gold medal for her research into dung beetles within the farmed landscape. \nShe founded the U.K. Dung Beetle Mapping Project to accumulate previously unknown species data. Her work with the project has seen her surveying field sites all over the U.K. including many outlying islands enabling her to study a multitude of grazing systems. \nThis practical experience has been translated into collaborative projects working on sustainable land management plans within the farming community to promote dung beetles as important bio-indicators for soil\, pasture and livestock health. \nSally-Ann was awarded the British Entomological and Natural History Society’s gold medal for over two decades of promoting dung beetle awareness and her research into dung beetles and the livestock sector. A founding member of Dung Beetles for Farmers\, which was formed to continue the awareness of this insect group and highlight their conservation\, she provides dung beetle workshops\, training days\, surveys and advisory services. \nSally-Ann owns and runs an educational research centre ‘Berrycroft Hub’ based on her family farm where she has her own livestock and manages all the grazing. \nAs a passionate advocate of British farming and biodiversity\, Sally-Ann does a great deal of scientific public outreach both at her centre on the farm\, at various events and on all media platforms including television.

SUMMARY:Farm Cornwall: Fec Pack Farm Walks
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 13th March Treganhawke Farm\, Torpoint\, PL10 1JH \n11.00 am start to 1.30pm with a Pasty lunch \nA vet from a local practice will explain the issues around anthelmintic resistance and how to avoid those issues by good management and the use of faecal egg counts as a means whether to dose or not and how\, by managing differing groups of animals\, anthelmintic resistance can be minimised together with the costs of production. The day will include a short farm walk to collect some dung samples and hopefully we will be able to see a practical example of a faecal test done with results using Farm Cornwall’s FIPL supported own kit.
