I have found a nice positive side of no nitrogen application is the increase in clover in prg/clover leys. You then end up with a large mass of ryegrass and clover which I’m finding do the cows quite well. Also the longer the rest period the better the grass seems to be i think I’m finding. Quite the opposite to standard thought.

It's very pleasing how clover appears and then gradually other plants too. One of the points Gabe and Co. kept emphasising was the importance of observation. I realised that I'm always looking and clocking stuff as I move the mobs, but I'm not really reacting to the information. It's an intellectual exercise farming this way, judging by the reaction in other places, people want some kind of formula for success. There are as many techniques as there are different farms practising RA, that's what is so nice about the movement, everyone is working out how to do things in their own context and they are happy to share ideas.
