• Make sure grass does not get away from you when grazing – tighten up grazing area or cut more for 2-3rd cuts , basically a lot of farms have supply of grass exceeding demand.
• pre mow if necessary to reset paddocks , for quality (never ideal but sometimes it has to be done)

• Blue line 2020 says it all, We are as seen from the graph sooner into the dry period
• encouraging signs of rain now will have a positive impact – Fingers Crossed
• Organic Farms are recording the the highest grass growth rates this week – across all farms

So the pictures below taken last week, are from a Grazing Platform in South Cumbria , the tracks and fence network have made a real difference to grass quality and yield – on what are challenging soils !!!

The Dry spell continues – as grass growth falls 39% on 2 weeks ago – Rain would be great – check out the graph on the page above.- the need to assess forage stocks now is now to ensure you have a plan of attack.

Checked out some excellent additions to grazing systems this week – new tracks and newly established Grazing set up for Robots all in the Ribble Valley

Reseeding has come to a halt as the dry conditions continue – be patient wait for rain on the Horizon before drilling is my advice at present.
