Despite being a very wet year It's been a great growing year,still got half my fert in the shed,not going to buy any next year.
Likewise plenty of rain about here. Wet from Mid June to early august has left a lot of people's grazing in a much less productive state now to end the season with. I've been lucky with the cows housed, so only my heifers were able to cause damage at that time. I retained a slightly larger than usual area through the summer for cutting, due to higher than average growth. The result is that my pits are very full and there's no room for fourth cut. So for the first time in a very long time, I've only sown the rough grazing with one bag of CAN per acre to keep some grass on it, and just jogging the large cut area along with 2000gl slurry. The cut ground has already had 3000gl three times, so there should be a bit of residual power there along with another 2000 to rise the covers for the autumn. Can't help feeling slightly apprehensive though about having the last bag sowing for the year back in late June after 2nd cut on the cutting ground!
