Upcoming events
Webinar - Herbal leys for long-term soil health gains
We are joined by Cotswold Seeds to take a deep dive into how to use herbal leys to build soil health.
Paul Totterdell, Cotswold Seeds Director, will unpack the importance of diversity in herbal ley mixes and how this can drive performance rather than simply be a nice to have.
Ian Wilkinson, Cotswold Seeds Managing Director and Founder of FarmED, will discuss the latest research around termination options for leys and how these impact soil carbon stocks and soil health.
We’ll also be joined by Regenerate Outcomes member farms who have integrated herbal leys into both arable and pasture systems, to discuss the soil health gains they have achieved.
Webinar - Balancing animal performance and soil health: Exploring the trade-offs and synergies
Is it possible to maximise animal performance while still improving soil health?
Join us for what should be a lively discussion with James Daniel of Precision Grazing and Allen Williams from Understanding Ag.
The speakers will explore different grazing strategies that focus on driving animal performance in key classes of stock vs accelerating soil health gains, and how to manage potential trade-offs in grazing systems.
James and Allen will be joined by Joe Howard. Joe manages a mixed farming business growing and finishing approximately 1500 dairy beef a year on a grazing and forage system integrated with root crops and cereals. Joe was recently nominated for the 2024 Farmers Weekly Beef Farmer of the Year.
Webinar - Lessons learnt from outwintering cattle this winter
We are joined by the Pasture for Life and Regenerate Outcomes member farmers to discuss lessons learned from outwintering cattle over the 2024/2025 winter.
This webinar will be particularly interesting for farmers thinking of outwintering cattle in the following 2025/2026 winter.
Webinar - Strategies for starting out in regenerative agriculture with Gabe Brown
Starting out in regenerative agriculture is not always easy with economic, educational and cultural barriers often standing in the way.

Webinar - Combatting blackgrass: Do we need a different approach?
“Agriculture’s reliance on chemicals and tillage to control weeds is the very definition of madness. We’ve been trying the same thing over and over again and expect a different result.”
Join Kyle Richardville from our mentoring team who will explore how improving soil health can provide a long term solution to combatting blackgrass.
Kyle will be joined by Oakbank co-founder Ian Gould who will share stories of his work with farmers and explain how some SFI options could be exacerbating the blackgrass problem.
Wiltshire farmer George Hosier and Lincolnshire farmer John Charity also join us to talk through the highs and lows of combatting blackgrass on their farms.
Farm walk: Grow profits from healthy soil - Northumberland
Regenerate Outcomes are hosting a series of farm walks this summer with a focus on growing farm resilience and profits through improved soil health.
This event will take place on West Wharmley Farm, which is run by Stuart Johnson. Profitability and resilience were the key drivers for Stuart Johnson to begin reducing inputs and focusing on soil health on his farm in Northumberland.
Over the last 10 years he has moved to a no-till and mob grazing system, bringing financial resilience while eliminating the use of insecticide and fungicide. Stuart was recently named 2023 Soil Farmer of the Year.
The walk will include an overview of the Regenerate Outcomes programme, while Stuart Johnson will unpack some of the principles of soil health and explain how farms can use key indicators to inform their management.
Attendees are welcome to bring along other guests who may be interested in the event.

Regenerate Outcomes are hosting a series of farm walks this summer with a focus on growing farm resilience and profits through improved soil health. We're excited to be working with Pasture for Life for this event.
Join us for this farm walk at Fearn Farm in Easter Ross. Successive generations have added their mark to what is now a modern mixed farming business with high quality livestock at its core. However, Fearn’s traditional blend of sheep, cattle and crops hasn’t changed and the family still find that a mixture of enterprises suit them, the land capability and the environment.
Farmer John Scott will be joined by Stuart Johnson of Understanding Ag who was named 2023 Soil Farmer of the Year.
