GrassCheck Bulletin Week Beginning 24.03.2025🌱 Take advantage of current conditions and grass quality, particularly with lighter stock. This will help conserve silage supplies and lower costs. Start with smaller grazing groups and build up. 🌱 🌟ow.ly/MjuW50Vo6RQ

Grass growth forecasted to increase rapidly over the next 7 days. Whilst very welcome for many it will bring with it management challenges. Achieving target residuals now will have a big impact on grass quality in the next grazing. agrisearch.org/grasscheck
