TOO MUCH GRASS AND NIOT ENOUGH EITHER

Battling the worst summer ever for grass growth to try and keep the cows munching on grass. In comparison the heifers on the out block have far too much in front of them. Is zero grazing an option? Are us farmers carrying too much stock for the ever changing climate ?

Growth is very bad at the moment.the dry weather and this hard beeeze is killing it.its hard goin at the moment to try and have grass in front of animals.any left over bales from last year is a welcome guest now.hopefully things will change soon.

@dronedairys7461 28 дней назад

Things would want to change soon. Because after two bad years how much more can farmers take

Ya it's shocking year for weather and for grass growth all we farmer's stay strong 💪

@dronedairys7461 28 дней назад

Stay strong surely. Nature will always look after itself eventually. Nobody will starve.

@theoracle8560 28 дней назад

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from farming it is that things can always get worse, it’s 12 months of poor weather and grass growth, the rest of the year could be rubbish, who knows. Lots of farmers are well sick of farming now.

@dronedairys7461 28 дней назад

Sick of it surely buts it the nature of the farmer to fight on and not let it beat ya. Thanks for your support and comments

It's a real feast or famine year. I made a few bales because paddocks were gone too strong. 2 weeks later I was feeding them. Pure disaster of a grass year. Second cut for bales is very slow growing

@dronedairys7461 28 дней назад

Yea I think I’ll be dipping in to my paddock bales too. Very tough times. It will improve.

@dronedairys7461 hard to build a silage surplus this year. There's a great shine off your heifers. Look well

Grass grows when the soil temp is above 60 degrees and the sun, both makes Grass grow.

@dronedairys7461 28 дней назад

60 degrees? You hardly ever have soil that warm in this country

@dronedairys7461 27 дней назад

@@paulfinnan1984 I said climate change I didn’t say anything about warming 😂😂😂. You’re right it’s colder it’s getting. I remember as a child spending all summer with my parents making hay with a mf35 snd a buck rake and a pitch fork. Now we can’t get a few days to get a chance at hay.
