26.2 11.4 Grass growth rate over the last 3 weeks is slightly below that recorded this time last year. Heavy rain in recent days has made grazing conditions very difficult. Utilisation of late season grass can be improved by block grazing. Allocate enough area to the grazing group at each grazing and back fence, especially if conditions are very wet.
Average cover is still relatively high on many farms.
To reach target cover at closing, try to keep stock out for as long as possible in order to utilise the grass and set the farm up for next spring.
