$2000, 40 acres worth of seedhow much per acre is that ? how long do you think it will last ?
... on about 36 acres
Hmmmm, the lasting bit will be the interesting part.
Similar mixes around the district have maybe got to 6-8 tonnes of DM per hectare for the first grazing, then 2.5-4 tonnes on subsequent grazings, so maybe 16TDM before it's mainly pasture again?
I'm working on maybe 5TDM over 15ha =75 dry tonnes of feed in the first grazing? Could be more or less.
About as much as a reasonable silage cut?
