About Jonny
Suckler Beef Farmer • Soil Health Advocate
Jonny Blair runs a suckler beef farm on 300 acres close to Limavady. Over the last years, he has been working to minimise costs on the farm by implementing mob grazing, encouraging multi-species swards, and improving his herd resilience through breeding.
Mob Grazing & Soil Health
Constantly focusing on soil health is at the core of his farming system and the latest work on this has been to incorporate trees into his farming landscape.
Agroforestry & Commercial Integration
The planting is done with commercial modern farming in mind, ensuring modern equipment can fit within rows with hopes to improve soil permeability, reduce flood risk as well improving resilience for when droughts do occasionally come.
