Brian Reidy: Is it time to think of reseeding your ground?
The quality and quantity of grass produced can be the biggest feed-related influence on animal performance and farm profitability.
After what turned into a mini drought in May for many, we have had very welcome rain in the few weeks, and this has given a big boost to grass growth in most areas.
However, some ground is still stressed, remains in a moisture deficit, and grass is getting very wiry and heading out quickly. I have had many herds close to the south and east coasts that have had little or no rain in the last six or seven weeks, and they are facing a significant grass deficit at present, and any grass they do have is of poor quality.
