[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7547135, member: 86168"] forage rape has saved us these last 3 summers, it's fed y/stock, dry and milkers from july onwards, not ideal, but cheap and easy to grow. It wasn't very long ago l read an article from NZ, advocating single cultivars' in leys, presumably with clover, and on this thread we are talking about diverse leys ! Who is right ? We don't have much pp, till now having rented more ground, but with older leys and pp that we do have, we have markedly improved by tight grazing, by dry or y/stock, docks are happily eaten, and you can see plant density, and you then have an option to overseed, you can get herbal overseeding mixes. We buy clover, and herbs independently, and not included, we can 'play' about with mixes a bit then, white clover blends, seem to be better varieties, than those included already. Have a play with your pp, especially with dry or y/s, strict control with strip/back fence, you will be amazed by how many extra days/weeks you can get, with no detrimental effect on cattle, plus you improve the grass.
