We have excellent regrowth from the second cut silage so we have begun grazing it and we will work our way through it, shifting the electric fences on a daily basis for each group.
We got the oilseed rape sown and rolled. Like last year, we stubble-cultivated and then went in with a disc and crumbler bars and followed with the one-pass.
We have signed up for the compulsory national fertiliser database which will record all fertiliser purchases and stocks. This will be another annual return that will, from now, on have to be made.
While the second cut has been taken a fortnight later than normal, it is still a relief to have the winter fodder supply secured with practically no damage to the ground.
