Been frosty nights for at least a fortnight here with today being the first warm day in as long.
No doubt a bit of warm rain would do some good but it’s the cops that’s been holding things back
Bloody spell check, should be cold
It changed it to cops again

I want you to give me the answer!
I hope it is the cold nights, if it's moisture now we are stuffed.
My concern is that if growth takes off moisture will become limiting within a week.
Glass half full!

Temperature’s are good, kids are in shorts in school and I havnt worn a thermal top in weeks

Hoping for a 1st cut in 2 weeks 
. If stretched out it’s about 15 inches tall. Very heavy soil and this field was put to grass 3 years ago after 50 years as arable is actually called Meadow so grass suits it. Lighter land grass looks atrocious with at least 50% less growth.

Just graze really slowly, thankfully we have the cover to do that.
Work on water effectiveness, ie we probably grew 4000kgDM/ha on under 40mm of rainfall, where a faster round you might grow ½ of that or less.
All the dairies in the valley are drying off or have dried off, bar one who will milk til late May
we seldom get a dry April, often we go dry but it's generally always run the cherries by this stage
it will rain, it always does!
