How a Northern Irish suckler farmer is reducing costs >More in Sam Chesney © Steffan Hill Sky-high farm input prices and rising rents have prompted Sam Chesney to re-evaluate his business and take a slight change in tack, in an attempt to improve suckler-cow margins.

He is also planting a further 8ha (20 acres) of herbal leys following a successful European Innovation Partnership (EIP) project, during which he grew 2.5ha (6 acres) of the mixed swards for 40 heifers he is finishing on contract for Blade Farming.
