Marches Pasture and Profit in Protected Landscapes project manager Louise Anderson said: “We are reminding farmers who farm in and around the Shropshire Hills to take advantage of our mentee places, our general membership places and our informative events. Events focus on everything from soil health to genetics, resilience, financial forecasting and profitable, high nature value farming.
Ms Anderson added: “All farmers are encouraged to join, whatever your farming practice, whether you’re making adjustments or seeking knowledge.
