autumn re-seeding

[Cows 'n grass]

Same mix, heavier farm. View attachment 909548

I'm sure I get more rust on the ex arable ground that's generally a bit knackered

What's that got to do with Foxtrot?

You just said 5 .5 was a low score - what does that make 2.8 .

5.5 is low and to help you out 2.8 is lower still!

Do you still have Foxtrot in some mixtures?

Its spreads in the wind so if there is none local then there is less risk

You weren't the only one who was on the high sugar express. Clever marketing that was.

Can you expand on that a bit please.
Ploughed up a chunk of me grazing ground this time.
So any knowledge appreciated.

How best to explain.

Put it this way, have you ever seen a steak being marketed as having a high blood content?

The piffling amount of soluble carbohydrates in a heap of plant tissue is basically inconsequential compared to the monster amount of big structural carbohydrates which is what ruminants actually digest and run on.

Digestibility is far more important.

apart from when you are trying to make silage. The soluble sugars are essential for fermentation hence why Clover and Lucerne struggle without grasses in the UK.
