[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 7075190, member: 79"] GET A GRASP ON YOUR GRASS FIELD INDEXING 1. An INDEX 1 field will have less than 25% sown productive species left and the ryegrass that remains will be of very poor quality. The gaps created by the disappearing ryegrass have been filled up with broad-leaved weeds and weed grasses like annual meadowgrass, Yorkshire fog, bentgrasses, chewings fescue and strong creeping red fescue. All these weed grasses are totally unproductive to the field, delivering less than 25% of what perennial ryegrass will produce. An index 1 field will deteriorate quicker than other fields as it is not wear tolerant, so will not be able to resist poaching by grazing animals. WHAT THIS MEANS A field with a classification of INDEX 1 is not nutritious, has no feed value and is therefore of no use to ruminant livestock. [MEDIA=youtube]FlxxcKu3jKA[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
