Barenburg

Barenbrug are delighted to sponsor the 2024 Nuffield Farming Conference. Northern Ireland has been the birthplace of many of our perennial ryegrass varieties through our commercial partnership with AFBI and we are proud to welcome delegates to Belfast. Barenbrug breed, research and develop UK forage products across the UK and the world. Over 3,000 hectares of UK farmland produces Barenbrug UK grass seed. All Barenbrug UK mixtures are designed to deliver productivity and success for UK farmers.

Making up 65% of utilisable agricultural area, grass is the UK’s national crop. Like other crops, grass requires proper management to optimise yields, benefit the environment and enhance animal health and performance. It takes 17 years on average to release a new grass variety. These varieties are trialled in different areas of the UK, in a range of conditions so we can measure how they perform. One of the Barenbrug core values is integrity, which means every claim we make can be backed up with data and every product that we introduce is what we are confident is best for our local market.
