Farming Connect is launching two Masterclasses – MasterGrass and MasterRegen – designed to enhance technical skills and business performance for farmers across Wales.

The workshops will combine practical learning and theoretical knowledge in small groups. Participants will learn from experienced farmers and experts. Applications are open now and will close on April 7, 2025.

The MasterGrass workshop, a two-day event, will focus on pasture management, improving business resilience, and reducing carbon footprints. Topics include reducing input costs, pasture measurement, paddock systems, feed demand, electric fencing, and flexible water systems.

Rhys Williams and Sarah Morgan from Precision Grazing Ltd will lead the MasterGrass workshops.

“Good grazing management is the foundation of a profitable, resilient farm business,” said Mr Williams.

“The MasterGrass workshops will give farmers the practical skills and confidence to make better use of their pasture, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Learning from leading experts and experienced farmers in a hands-on setting makes this a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to take their grazing to the next level.”

Three MasterGrass workshops will be held across Wales (North, Mid, and South) on May 6-7, May 8-9, and June 12-13, 2025.

MasterRegen is an introductory workshop focused on regenerative livestock farming, including improving soil health, developing low-input livestock systems, and building sustainable business models. James Daniel from Precision Grazing Ltd will lead the MasterRegen workshop.

James Daniel, from Precision Grazing Ltd, will lead the MasterRegen workshop, sharing his knowledge in regenerative grazing and farm business management.

“These Masterclasses are all about hands-on, practical learning that farmers can apply straight away,” said Mr. Daniel.

“They offer a valuable chance to step back from the daily workload and focus on working on the business, not just in it."

The MasterRegen workshop will be held on June 12-13, 2025.
