On the beef and sheep side it is based around a number of farmer-led monitor farms with associated groups.
Beef and Sheep Monitor Farm Groups
Grass/clover Monitor farm groups are farmer-driven working groups, who have selected one of their group members to act as a central Monitor Farm for a period of up to three years.
Greenmount clover-based farms
Two of the farms at Greenmount Campus make extensive use of clover-based swards.
