@CallansCows @grazyarse Oo I'm sure there is a neighbour with sheep would solve your problems 😏

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@grazyarse @CallansCows I would graze it Sean, that will loose quality a bit and you will have trash at the butt. Grazing will encourage new growth and tillering and enhance forage quality. Towards other years its much more forward, so I would definitely graze. A few sheep would suit you 😉

@ArableSam Early sowing is hard bet. Should have lovely cover in another month

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@DLF_IRL 's 4N Grazer off to a humming start considering what rain has fell since sowing. Planted 5 weeks. All 5 star utilisation varieties, making grazing management easier.

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@ArableSam @CallansCows @Tim_Seedtech Yes forage rye proving its self year on year. Super scavenger, creating piles of biomass

Mighty morning for rolling in @DLF_IRL cover crop mixtures 🌾🌻. This field received slurry yesterday and rolled this morning. New level recycling ♻️😎. Crop 2023 is in motion 🌾

@NARGC11 @GDOnargc Any sign of a course on the East Coast of the country?

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

Spot the difference 👀
Maize stubble with @DLF_IRL Regener8 cover crop (sown 28th Sept) VS maize stubble no cover crop.
Both fields side by side 😏 #givingback #regenerativeagriculture

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@ArableSam Boron potentially @ArableSam but why not all the clover is effected 🤔?. I've seen this before, thought at one point it was where in parts of the field was compacted and the roots were limited on nutrient access. Or it could be related to the magic 🍄🍄 ...😉

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@KilconnorFlock Grazing fattening lambs should be no issue, keep a fibre source nearby ( hay/straw). Grazing breeding ewes at point of breeding can be troublesome. In terms of the red clover plant , it doesn't like to be pouched, so a light grazing would be best

@tommythevet @tom_moloney58 schooling Ivan Yeats on multi species both for the soil and the animal #the2tommys @DLF_IRL

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@ArableSam @DLF_IRL @epower79 Yes there is a few ultra early, not a very big yield so they'll probably never hit market here for maize silage.

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@DLF_IRL open maize trials going under the knife today. Nice to compare all the varieties in the one field 🌽 @epower79

[Ned Kehoe @EdwardKehoe7]

@ArableSam @DLF_IRL No need to complain with what you have, those plants will have alot of work done by next march 😉
