[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 9122875, member: 86168"] root structure is perhaps more important than many realise. one of the problems with ryegrasses, is in more intensive farming, relying on N applications, which feed the leaf, not the roots. PRG is a good productive grass, what l am unsure about, does it develop an improved root system, with low, or no, N application. There's still some ryegrass in those 'free' fields we get given, certainly one of those fields hasn't been reseeded for nearly 50 yrs, makes you think a bit. but we did get our w/wheat drilled today, so, ploughing was about the only way we could do it. Time was not on our side, you can't trust the forecast, seed was in the shed, paid for, and we are reliant on it, for winter feed. Of interest again, and could well be shot down on other threads, we have reduced the amount of maize, to 10kg/head, and feeding 15%Protein good silage, and crimped wheat, hay, plus soya and conc. Milk solids are high, yields slightly down, cows in good condition, and we started serving 21st dec, up to today we have served 90, 19 unserved, 15 of which calved dec. All of which points to correct rationing, but, you haven't enough maize in the ration ........... :rolleyes: :banghead: the accepted norm, is not always the only way. [/QUOTE]
