Grass starts to take off as summer finally arrives

Finally, summer seems to have arrived.

It seems that 2013 decided to skip spring! It’s amazing how quickly grass growth takes off when air and soil temperatures rise. It’s not surprising that grass has taken off as almost all farmers had put plenty of Nitrogen out trying to boost growth during the poor weather. Much of it was just sitting there ready for take-off once conditions improved.

Many have reported growth rates of 70 Kg/DM/ha or more over the last week.
