That time of the year when it’s time to total up the amount of grass grown on the farm. Ask yourself why these figures are important. The best farmers use the information to, first of all, see how to relate stocking rate with grass grown on the platform and whole farm.
Yes, figures will vary from year to year but the more data you build up over the years the more consistent and better your decision making will be. Obviously you can decide whether or not paddocks are performing and need to be reseeded. You should be able to see differences emerge on soil fertility, and you should also see the impact of poor fertility on outfarms, which are often more neglected than the milking platform.
