New Grass leys established last year have preformed well turning grass into milk effectively
This is the growth rate chart for Lancashire /South Cumbria, taken from grazing platforms
We have done quite a area of Pasture renovation this year, soil temperatures are fairly high at 16-17 degrees so germinations have been very quick.
