What as straight varieties in 5 kg bags?
good desicion to wrap i reckon, will be nice stuff.Looks green from here
but im not sure theres much rain about yet, my last established grass seeds are struggling with the heat and rabbits now, all except the chicory, in the mix and that seems to be laughing at it .
rain s coming tomorrow night they say for us but well see.

They always seem to over predict and under deliver on the H2o when there's storms involved, will see but wouldn't put money on it being a lot !!

I sell AberLasting mostly to the arable guys to be used as a companion crop.yes Aberlasting caught my eye , i see mole valley are adding it to mixes.
all our grassland is low input , when i ordering seed i useully round the amount ordered down to the acerage not up (like some do) as then even if i dont add extra clover to the mix , i add chicory or as ive written before , or ...just let it be 'more open' in the establishing phase, i reckon that gives smallermore vulnerable seed s /seedlings chance to compete.
i love clover, its free nitrogen and more protein.

Only a Welshman would cut a grazing ley.. twice
I’m not a Welshman, although in do farm in Wales. Almost all of my bales are made from fields/paddocks that I’ve taken out of a grazing rotation, yielding 3-5 bales/ac of rocket fuel. Apart from experimenting with a few short term crops for lamb finishing, all the leys I put in are pp ‘grazing’ leys, with predominantly late heading ryegrass varieties….. they still get cut sometimes.
ive got tired of making hay , trouble is dont trust wrapping to well,dispite using it over the years,
does anyone put on 8 layers ? last i did was 6 but still wasnt impressed come feed out.
best i ever made was when we did squares once ,was a long time ago tho.

That's how dad farmed 220 milkers apart from 30 acres of Italian Ryegrass for Early Bite , Late Heading Ryegrass Timothy White Clover , if fields got ahead of the cattle they were taken out and cut , that would be hard to manage with early heading veriaties

Field Options have been doing long term trial plots at Harper Adams. I remember one of their presentations a couple of years ago, where they had seen long term, late heading ‘grazing’ mixtures producing the same/higher DM yield after the second year, than the short term cutting mixtures did in their first years.

Lot thicker in the bottom , they tiller more as you know , being more leafy the feed value would more than licely be higher as well
