Yes what the moisture probe shows me

I see a lot of hay reading 20% if its any dryer thsn that it wont ferment properly I find haylage fine between 22 and 28

We move any size as long as well baled and firm , need to be around 25 % M or they are to heavy to put a full load on , it helps if you know the weight when loading as lorry drivers are warry of going overwieght 4 to 5 ft on sqrares is a good lenght for horse market ,4 string or 120, 70 ...

By rights you cant use ThistleX in a hand held and your not supposed to mow it in same year. MCPA ,you may as well top them for thevgood that does IMO

Grazon pro with Hand Sprayer or ThistleX with Tractor

Ive seen no shortage But i would not overeat on Bannanas , like anything, you can have to much of a good thing 1 to 2 is the Recomended daily intake Unless its a big one

There idea is to include grasses to choke it out ,

Get on with it

Ive got tons of clover chicory and plantain here ,come dirert from the growers in Germany, i can get all the other stuff as well, If merchants are mixing the sfi mixes they will have the seed

Cut it and bale it as it drops in rows a few days later ,you cant ted or row it up or it will be full of soil , dont over condition it either or you will have rows of mush , its wet stuff but its supprisung how nice it is after its fermented

Wouldthat fatten stock ,i know nothing about it

For Dry Land Here Chicory, Red Clover ,large White , Plantain and some dry land grasses Cocksfoot, Timothy, Some Festuloliums In NZ they call that mix Rocket Fuel for finishing

How does chicory and plantain do along with Red Clover

Cartle look clean and fit ,

How long to last 6 to 12 months Westerwolds + Crimson Vetch 2 years and a bit Italian Ryegrass 3 years and a bit Hybrid Ryegrass They are not ideal for sheep grazing though For that you would be better with a long term ley
