Eastern Cape province. Tsitsikamma area if you want to google it. Almost on the border of the Western Cape. Dairy farming area.

We spend every Christmas in Plett, My other half comes from Botswana. Know the area well. Lovely part of the world.

That's interesting. Had a Google. Seems to be a strong area from Oyster bay up to Tsitsikamma National Park, though the farms are in-between large blocks of trees up there.
Lots of irrigation by the looks of it. Interesting to see paddocks divided up like pieces of a pie.

Yes all the centre pivot irrigation systems have water in the centre and camps run out from there hence it looking like a pie. Blocks of trees are pine trees and still quite a bit of natural forest left aswell.

It’s a great place for sure, we tend to come out for 4-6 weeks so get about quite a bit. tsitsikamma is great for taking the kids. We spend a bit of time in PE as well with family.

For sure, we’re meant to be there this winter but looking sketchy right now. If the boarder opens and we can get into George from the uk then I’ll tap you up and come visit.
Speak to the N Irish, must be standard dm for them

Got 40 acre of 2nd cut in a pit at 19% dm so that’s not bad there 
Have you checked it’s still there and hasn’t run away!Got 40 acre of 2nd cut in a pit at 19% dm so that’s not bad there
Been there in years gone by, once sheeting the pit with the effluent running over my boots , on top of an 8’ wall!- Location

it’s quite nice silage other than the dry matter feeding it to the grazers at night with other 45% dm 2nd cut
Do what I do and don't test any,what you don't know won't harm you.
Wet would be 15dm to me.

we used, as an additive, one of the enzyme ones, at our area silage completion, we had the highest protien, 19 % with the lowest DM, 16 %, the amazing fact, you could, and we did, drive on it, without it moving at all, completely firm.
Put 2nd cut on top, and still no effluent ! Apparently, the enzymes 'ate' the inside of the leafs and stems, cows did fine on it, but we were not a repeat customer, our feed rep, never seen anything like it, and he brought a few more to see it !
