    Hi, I think we may get used to all this rain, clear pattern of increased rainfall each year for last 4...hotter air temp allow higher moisture content in atmosphere

    In Maine U.S.A. we’ve already had twice the precipitation as normal this year. I say precipitation instead of just rain because we usually have snow. A lot of snow. Not this year. And that hurts because we think of it as poor man’s fertilizer because over a winter it deposits a sizable amount of nitrogen on the ground which slowly gets released into thethawing soil in spring.

      @@FarmTheoryNI it’s seriously not funny… we had snow today with heavy rain for overnight. It’s rained since the end of September. I’ve mountains of muck to spread. Lime needs to go out… if it isn’t dry most of April, first cut and turnout will be massively delayed. Seriously thinking of branching out to ducks and rice

    we've got quite a low stocking rate so that might explain my line of thought here.......i think there are times when sowing fertiliser or certainly too much fertiliser can be a bad thing cos if this wet weather continues you kind of get too much grass by fertilising it heavily as you say with the fields so wet it's going to be a few weeks before its dry enough to turn out and 1st cut silage maybe later this year........i can remember some years ago having a really wet spring and there was no silage made until end of may early june and those that fertilised heavy had so much grass they couldnt get it through the twin rotor rake and also the grass had gone brown and rotted in the bottom

    • @FarmTheoryNI

    Very methodical planning and a good plan B in these current and dynamic times in the industry. I admire your good humour and optimism, nothing a problem to you. We could all do with a bit of humour to dispel the heavy clouds. Do you do your own reseeding or will you use a contractor. Thank you by the way.

    • @FarmTheoryNI
      @FarmTheoryNI  6 месяцев назад

      It helps to have a sense of humour for sure. 😅 We do all the work for a reseed apart from sowing the grass seed. I want a seeder but they are really expensive?!

    How much artificial potash are you applying per acre for silage ground with no slurry on it

    • @FarmTheoryNI
      @FarmTheoryNI  6 месяцев назад

      it's 100kg of K first cut, assuming it gets not slurry.

  • @nthnmcclure3020

    What's the benefit of splitting your N applications on silage ground now in the wet?

    • @FarmTheoryNI
      @FarmTheoryNI  6 месяцев назад +1

      At this point I will probably go on with one application if I can get some decent weather! Normally split it to spread risk.

    • @nthnmcclure3020
      @nthnmcclure3020 6 месяцев назад
