Autumn changes are moving fast

There is a real feel of autumn around in the last week or so. Grass has that soft look and feel to it and all of the summer stem has disappeared from swards.

The final round of fertiliser is well under way and rotation lengths are rapidly heading towards 30 days. All of that and the ploughing is only 4 weeks away.

We have had ideal growing conditions in most parts of the country recently. Unfortunately in some areas they have experienced a lot of rain and in those areas it is not uncommon for cattle to be indoors on silage due to poor ground conditions.
