[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6540759, member: 86168"] what is the fodder situation generally ? We are really short, missed virtually all the rain, maize looks really good, whole crop yielded well, grass growth has been awful, we have ley's that have literally died, others have gone really thin. We grow forage rape for midsummer grazing, this has been really slow to grow, incredibly on some dry banks, both weeds and rape has taken 6 weeks to start germinating, and we have been feeding the cows for 6 weeks, and we are spring calving, we have kept youngstock in all summer, on straw and cake, to save grass for the dairy ! Friends living 2 or 3 miles away have had bumper yields. This winter, we shall have to buy fodder in, and we are reseeding 80 acres, which shouldn't need to be yet. So, are we an exception to the norm ? Yesterday we had heavy rain showers 1/2 mile away, not here. luckily the rape for winter feed looks to be growing well. [/QUOTE]
