“Where there are trees, the livestock and the wildlife use them, and that’s not by accident,” says organic lamb producer Tom Fairfax. He noticed his lambs selectively browsing on willow and teamed up with researchers from the University of Nottingham through an Innovative Farmers field lab to investigate. “Willow is high in cobalt, which is something a lot of UK soils are deficient in, so a lot of lambs are deficient in it,” explains Soil Association Farming Advisor Tabitha Acton. Not only is willow rich in cobalt, but it’s also fast-growing and easy to integrate into farming systems. This trial aims to demonstrate how willow could give farmers a natural, low-cost alternative to supplements, while boosting soil health, flood resilience, and biodiversity. As Tom notes, “if your margins are tight, this could be the difference between being profitable and being loss-making.” 📅Want to learn more? Visit the Innovative Farmers website to watch the full film and join their webinar on Thursday 27 February. Tom and the team will discuss their findings and share ways you can get involved. https://www.innovativefarmers.org/field-labs/willow-for-lambs-trial/
