Cold spell slows silaging and maize establishment

Cold spell slows silaging and maize establishment >More in © Tim Scrivener The low temperatures and lack of rain is hindering farmers’ silaging and maize growing as the UK emerges from one of the frostiest Aprils on record. The dry weather has stalled grass growth and the chilly conditions are a concern for establishing newly seeded corn. Some areas of the UK have received rain after the recent dry spell, but there is a desperate need for moisture in other parts of the country, as well as a rise in temperatures.
