How Sean's using clover to correct his grass wedge this summer

Many of Sean's clover paddocks are no longer recieving any chemical fertiliser.

Multispecies swards have been performing well on Sean's farm.

While there’s never a quiet time in the summer, the job list is getting smaller. We completed a fodder budget and now have 70% of the required silage in stock. We got a good crop on one particular outside block which showed exceptionally low pH, two bags of granulated lime really did the trick. 

This has now received 2.5 tonne (t) of ground limestone to the acre. In total, we have 100t of lime out this year. 60t was on outside ground, 20t for paddocks on the milking platform and the rest for reseeding. I got advice a few years ago to always get a bit extra lime as there is always some field that needs it.
