picked up our grass yesterday, impressive yields.
what was quite obvious, the newer 'dry grass leys', with herbs, didn't look huge yields, but more than they looked. The difference between them, and older ley, and cut only, was ground cover, simply much better, was this because of the different grasses, had smaller seeds, so more per acre.
Looking at 2nd round grazing, clover less than 1st, but grass better than 1st. Could a reason be, simply no N 1st round, so clover had no competition 1st, but grass responded to 30 units of N, and kicked in, and competed v the clover ?
