Possibly have a bit of new to me rented ground this year which is in need of reseeding. What would the demand be like for off the field wholecrop?
I realise the weather and location plays a part but any guidance?

Broke my finger yesterday, electrical fault with the feeder wagon tractor this morning, starter motor playing up on the shovel this morning also. Cow with mastitis this morning. Tanker driver never hit the was button as he was leaving so robots where stopped for a while. Happy Sunday everyone.

8:24am! Early start for you this Sunday stuart! No hangover?
 
Normal rule for fertiliser was 10 acres of grazing sown for st Patrick's day,nothing yet,no conditions insight,was considering no fertility the first time around to get them a quick rotation as the last paddocks normally get ahead, if it's a mistake I've plenty of silage,any opinions

We only ever sow fields that can be cut on 1st rotation then judge/random guess whether we need them or not. Usually end up cutting them.
