About Dale Orr

Dale Orr farms around 300 acres near Strangford, County Down. The farm has been farmed organically since 1998 and is certified by the Soil Association.

Farming cattle and sheep, the farm focus is on improving soil health and maximising days at grass. Multi species swards were introduced to the grazing rotation in 2018 and have made a significant impact to the soil, animal performance and have greatly enhanced the biodiversity of the farm.

Dale will be speaking on how he has used multi swards and the power of plant diversity for soil health, animal health and farm profits. His talk is titled: Managing Multi Species Swards for Success
