Spring 2026
Grass Season 2026 is a go
With Soil temperatures consistently above 7 degrees and we are now past the spring equinox , grass is on a upward curve. with 25 kg/DM/ha this week in the north west of the UK , it looks like the growth rates will hit 40 kg plus in another 2 weeks there magic day will be on target in 3 weeks (which is a growth of 50-55 kg ) .
Put simply if you can graze sooner than you think or grass will race away from you and quality could be lost .
