[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7546064, member: 86168"] lot of rain yet to come then, we have had some good soakings, last few days, yet out little stream is now barely running at all, where did it go. Raining now, sounds heavy, but the reality is the strong gusty wind, is making it sound more than it actually is. Cows were quite keen to come in, even though only straw in the racks. We must have got something right, last years reseeds are lasting longer than hoped/expected, in fact we think we waited to long, before letting the cows out by night. The difference is ground cover, they are much thicker, where they are at the moment, has been 4/5 feeds, probably 7/8, and some will be second time over. What l really want to know is why, or is it lots of little things gone right. We are using different types of grass, this field was over seeded, some seed is a lot smaller, more plants/acre, better seed germination, better actual drilling process, more seed/acre, luck, or just better weather, whatever the reason, long may it continue. We are getting back to what we used to be, a very grassy farm, had begun to lose faith a bit, we desperately need a growthy summer, just to get off the back foot, and get the winter fodder sorted, and a chance to catch up.
