Got a customer grazing Hybrid Ryegrass now that was sown 4 weeks ago , won't hold them long but you should have a fair bite in 8 weeks on that
What was on it this summer , if it looks OK I would not bother until springDoes it need a feed at all?

I would not be putting anything on it myself until springit’s after spring barley that had digestate and 75kg of N.
Be careful.Does it need a feed at all?
My comment was regarding this winter ,will need feeding next year, but a lot plant Westerwolds just as a winter early spring crop like between maize, if it's for 12 Months then I would go Italain hereBe careful.
It needs forcing, otherwise it goes to head.
Ideally it needs fert after every cut and lots of it.
Defo a case of the more you put in the more you get out.
I’ve gone off it though. I prefer a two year ley as I think you get more soil benefits and less volunteers in the following wheat crop
Second the above its mission is to seed ASAP and stems turn to straw in no time if not mowed or hammeredBe careful.

That's where most of Hurrells Westerwolds goes to be honest, it's cheap and grows well , only other option is Rye but seed is so expensiveProb will be maize next year so a single cropping season.
Graze over winter, shut it up and take an early cut pre maize

Grew them for 5 years , shite in hindsight
Eternal optimist , quick cutting crop , not much use to grazeWhy did it take 5 years to realise?
You growing the wrong product then for what you wanted , we use it just for winter cover to graze and one cut in the spring, , any longer we put Italian inGrew them for 5 years , shite in hindsight
They are too expensive for that timelineYou growing the wrong product then for what you wanted , we use it just for winter cover to graze and one cut in the spring, , any longer we put Italian in
