Abstract
- The article highlights the cost benefit of optimizing the use of home-grown feeds for the Bennet family, owner of the Powys farm located at Upper Hall, Meifod in Wales. The family gives importance to effective sward management as the family also sells organic lamb and breeding stock of Lleyn ewes. The family produced an organic vegetable enterprise producing potatoes, carrots, parnips and beetroot for sale to local shops and through a company selling boxed vegetables in order to gain extra income.
