@Graiseconsult1 Fair point rain could be weeks away yet . Will bale the driest paddocks and hold the heavier land until later

[Brian McCracken @cairngaver1]

@Graiseconsult1 Andre. Growing second cut swards are weeks off cutting and disappearing daily are not near the M/Platform do i cut bale and leave a desert? Or feed pit silage plus supplements and leave 2nd cuts . Surplus bales stocks are depleted?

@j0hn_k Urea doesn't convert to ammonia below 5° which it needs to do to become plant available. Volatises mostly as ammonia gas

@dwright_IFJ @GrassCheck . This silo slip happened over night. A real risk at this time of the year

[Brian McCracken @cairngaver1]

@daftraymie @BBCCountryfile No idea at all. Nice plastic bag though
