Growth has improved in the past number of weeks, I have an average farm cover of 609kg DM/ha which translates to around 169 kg DM/LU.
My heavier ground has grown well over the past two weeks while my drier ground is not performing as well at all. I rarely if ever say it, but 10-15 ml of rain would transform growth on the farm cover.
