[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7290433, member: 81760"] In my experience the vetch will last for one cut, maybe two and then bugger off so would be better pulling it out and putting more clover in imo. If cutting ONLY put lots of RED clover in!! 30% as a minimum for me. Next thing I would advise is scrap italian ryegrass and put hybrid ryegrass in instead. The clover makes the seed mix expensive and red will happily do 3 years if not more therefore to get your moneys worth put hybrid ryegrass in which will also do 3-4 years (same as the red clover). Remember though, although red clover is expensive and adding more to a mix will increase the price/acre, the fertiliser you save will more than outweigh this, AND your bought in protein requirement will be lower. Just my two pence [/QUOTE]
