[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7291039, member: 81760"] White clover is even more expensive than red clover so quote honestly stick with red! Red will still be fine for a 2 year ley if that's what you need but you wont be getting 100% of its benefit purely because it lasts longer if you know what I mean! Personally I wouldnt worry about it being 1 in 4. How long would the actual ley run for is my only other question? Plant in the autumn and then harvest next year, and the year after? Or plant in the spring and harvest for the next 18 months? Imo italian ryegrass lasts for about 18 months and then runs out of steam so if planted in the autumn, after the first cut in the second year it might struggle, whereas hybrid ryegrass will do this with ease! Seed cost was exactly the same for both of them when I bought 30 acres worth a few months ago [/QUOTE]
