Summary
For this week’s Grass10 grazing management update, John Maher says that 42% of farms are well above target AFC (> 750 kg DM/ha) largely due to challenging grazing conditions. While each farm is individual, these key rules need to be applied: - Maximum SR of 4.2 LU/ha - Minimum AFC of 160 kg DM/LU Now is also a good time to assess clover content in your paddocks and the aim is to identify paddocks with a good clover content. The target is 20-25% clover content in April to allow for reductions in chemical N in May/June Meanwhile, the featured farmer is Tom McEvoy from Ballyragget,Co. Kilkenny.
