How long would it take grass to take in fertiliser? If I sowed now would it be washed away tonight or take up by then?

Tanker man was very responsible as that was a puddle when he was slurrying!

urea needs at least 6mm to wash it in to the soil which isn’t that hard got these days but if the ground is waterlogged can it be washed into the ground or will it be washed to the nearest drain?

6mm? It wouldn't need that to melt it. Plenty of damp in the ground without rain.

yea plenty of damp at the moment but 6mm is the figure for dry conditions but can it get into the soil if the ground is full of water

No idea.

I hope the base price hits 40ppl by August/September.

I'm not sure but it's gone this morning anyway. Only put a wee shake out on a bit for grazing if it ever dries up enough to get stock out. Silage ground looking a bit water logged with me so I may wait

The chat seems to be that about 37ppl is as far as it'll go

All I know is that 37ppl is little more than cost of production in 2024, no good if these banks and milk companies want businesses to thrive and prosper.

Some amount of cows for sale or sold in recent weeks for a reason, at poor enough prices as well.

So about 35ppl for Lakeland then!!
