[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6549178, member: 86168"] I cannot recall 76 being as bad for us, as this year, 76 we were very short of grass, but made enough grub, this year, we have had no real grass since end of may, and have cut no grass since mid may. Most of the heifers have stayed in on straw and cake, just to try and keep a bit if pick for the dairy. Forage rape is really slow, on some banks its taken, both weeds and rape 6 weeks to germinate. And to top that we have a lot of reseeding to do, because some leys have either died, or become so thin, we have to either renew, or overseed ! 1 thought has crossed my mind, back in 76, the % of ''old'' grasses ie cocksfoot, fesques etc was probably higher, and therefore more drought tolerant !
