Assistance required? What would you do? Lucerne direct drilled into wholecrop stubble directly after low disturbance subsoiler. Lucerne establishment is good, but slow in some areas. Chickweed is beginning to smother Lucerne. Lucerne not strong enough for sheep grazing. Organic!

Great day at Joordens Zaden in Holland looking at their research into soil health, fodder crops and grass. Inspiration for the future. Thanks to Tony Van Der Velden..... and the weather gods.

Are you short of spring grazing? This is T101 WinterMax Forage Triticale on organic farm in SW England. 2 weeks into grazing Terrafarmer. More winter growth than Forage Rye, for less money!
