[QUOTE="HarryB97, post: 7516871, member: 8256"] I think grass seed is good value when you split it over 3-4 years and 2-3 cuts plus some aftermath grazing. Considering you will get much more grass growth, much higher quality feed and a better response to fert. The simplest way to reduce the cost would be to try some red clover leys then you can drop the fert apart from a little bit in the spring to give it an initial kick till it warms up. There are also the benefits in the following cereal crops, reduced weeds and a smaller cake bill from the higher quality. I would never rely on buying in silage considering what most people think good forage is... [/QUOTE]
