How to deal with the current drought conditions on farms
Category: Government & Organizations
Duration: 00:20:51
Publish Date: 2020-06-03 06:00:00
Description:

Currently the west is growing more grass than the east, heavier ground is growing more grass than drier ground, newer ryegrass swards are growing more grass than old pasture and farms with higher soil fertility are growing more grass in general than those with poorer soil fertility. 

 

Demand is also very variable; some drystock farms that have a low daily demand for grass will only need a few minor tweaks while others have a very high demand so each farmer needs to look at their own individual situation.
