Too late to roll silage fields

[Andy84]

I have two silage fields I didn’t roll with the rest as a result of being sprayed with Thistlex. Typically the weather conditions since then have been good and the grass has shot off. Will it knacker/stunt my silage to roll it now?

bigger question is is the ground soft enough/roller heavy enough to take the stones

Is it reseed or old ground that had a spray

not particularly but I spread dung in the winter so there is a bigger chance of stones

But anyway it says don't roll for a week after

how long is the grass? when did you want to cut it?

Unless u plan to cut in next 14 days I’d happily roll it,
