@livestockhub @ruthmcgregor4 If you can keep the ryegrass sward over summer (big if, i know) even if it is dormant but not dead, you can keep the Poa out, it can't germinate

[Frank Tyndall @frank_tyndall]

@livestockhub @ruthmcgregor4 Poa annua, appears paler green than ryegrass, and tip of leaf blade is fold is joined together. like front of canoe.

[Frank Tyndall @frank_tyndall]

@chriswalsh008 @agvocate_au looks bit like juvenile blackbird

[Frank Tyndall @frank_tyndall]

@Paul_Brown1 @ColinJBettles I'm with you Paul; any farm i know, that has cumbungi or phragmites, has heaps of Reed Warblers ;-)

@AHDB_Dairy Good video Andre, a major point, which the diagrams could show, is that the 3rd leaf grows fastest, is the biggest Regards Frank

@SmallholdersUK I think poorly drained soil is a major cause of Buttercup, as well as poor soil fertility

[Frank Tyndall @frank_tyndall]

@ruthmcgregor4 Seems to be no seed heads showing, great quality, not bad for late October

[Frank Tyndall @frank_tyndall]

@ruthmcgregor4 Hi Ruth, I have seen this. I reckon the tip of the emerging leaf gets caught in sheath of previous, so bends over. it breaks free but the bend causes ripples. Just my observations.

@calukafarms @ruthmcgregor4 Keep in mind that low soil moisture lengthens LAR, has it been a bit dry Ruth?

[Frank Tyndall @frank_tyndall]

@ruthmcgregor4 Ruth, Great grass, great milk per cow, producing the best feed margin (prices neutralised), in 9 years!
