SHARING OPTIONS:
Taking surplus grass out of the rotation is a great way to maintain grass quality and save top-quality winter fodder but account needs to be taken of the nutrients removed in doing so.
Grass management: Grass supplies continue to vary greatly across farms, with growth rates coming under significant pressure on farms which have not received any worthwhile volume of rain in recent weeks.
Supply issues are compounded on some farms by growth rates jumping sharply a few weeks ago leading to surplus paddocks being taken out of the rotation and topping to control quality, both of which delayed regrowth.
