Starting to see the effects of last year's weather on this year's finishers

The past few weeks have seen my grass growth continue to disappoint despite the fact that all the necessary parts of the jigsaw, in terms of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, have been kept up to date, and soil pH is at the optimum level.
I am continuing to follow each grazing with 30 units of Nitrogen in the form of NBPT Protected Urea. Slurry is almost all spread except for approximately 30,000 gallons which I have kept to follow on the red clover silage ground once I take the first cut off it.
