[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8141544, member: 86168"] 12 different samples, inc a full wet analysis, so can't do more than that. the problem, l think, is the huge stem to grain ratio, and the tiny sample they actually test, year before, analysis varied, so, which one was 'right'? Its the timing issue, that has made us have a rethink, grown in-between 2x maize, it simply doesn't get full potential from both crops. grown for w/crop, and followed by kale, worked very well, but that doesn't fit our system. so, trying westerwold and vetch, after w wheat, this time, followed by maize, sowing intervals are much longer. other than that, its a good relatively cheap double cropping, which yields 30+ fresh weight/ac and our cows have eaten, and performed well, with 20 kg/head, in the ration, our yield is 9,000 heifers have grown well, as well, we had to take blend and maize, out of their ration, as getting fat.
