I hope these reseeds get a drop of rain to help them along!
That’s the thing about autumn reseeds, you can pretty much guarantee they will get some rain.

Whats the idea of fungus?
Fungi enhances crop roots and could be a future 'bio-fertilizer'
University of Cambridge “Ancient relationship” between fungi and plant roots creates genetic expression that leads to more root growth. Common fungus could one day be used as ‘bio-fertiliser’, replacing mined phosphate which is now depleted to the point of impending fertiliser crisis. By...thefarmingforum.co.uk

It's not really for you if you plough to establish your grass leys as ploughing will virtually destroy all the mycorrhizal fungi.How much is it?
I didn’t explain properly, sowing seed treated with mycorrhizal fungi is fine whatever method is used. Ploughing to establish the following crop after grass will destroy the fungi.It's not really for you if you plough to establish your grass leys as ploughing will virtually destroy all the mycorrhizal fungi.
Just like all those dock herbs you have spent money on removing!Thanks just done some googling on it, says that it reduces bloat due to the tannins in it, are these the same as in yarrow?
My thinking is by using a good proportion of yarrow, trefoil and maybe sainfoin, I could offset any bloat from red clover?
Have you tested these mixes before signing up to a 5 year CSS agreement.If it all goes ahead next year I'm hoping to measure what milk yield does on ryegrass vs red clover so will be interesting to see.
You might all be right and it's an entire waste of time, land and money but I would almost like to try and fail than not try at all. If it goes well then great but if not I can change my mind after the third year anyway and swap it for ryegrass with relatively few issues, and until then could just use it for silage ground but i would have to buffer feed then
Cows dont like docks though, they do like chicory, plantain, lucerne etcJust like all those dock herbs you have spent money on removing!

What happens if they dont work? Having to pay back a lump of cash and reseeding or buying feed will hurt?

Chicory seems to go woody too quick.Our cows scoff the docks, but weren't overly keen on chicory.

Know someone who grew it on an organic farm and had to graze it every 2 weeks , grass wasn't advanced enough for grazing. Forced the rotation.
How much clover did you put inGrown it twice and killed it twice within 18 months of planting, grew it with rye grass and had the same problem and also grew it with white clover was lethal from bloat when chicory died back.
