Where do grassland farmers go from here if weather conditions improve?

Apply fertiliser and extend grazing rotation

In a “normal” year, we would be looking at extending the grazing rotation in August from 21 days to 35 days by mid September.

This allows for extra days at grass in the autumn and winter while ensuring that paddocks can be closed in rotation from October, to allow for early spring grazing.
