Dr Philip Creighton is on this week’s OviCast to discuss some key aspects of grazing management this autumn.
Philip first talks about current grazing conditions and supply on farms as well as some of the challenges this autumn.
He then discusses the closing plan and how this may need to be modified on farms where supplies are tight.
Philip explains how clover or multi species swards may have to be managed slightly differently at closing to get the best out of these swards.
Finally, Philip encourages farmers to review fertiliser and management strategies this year and assess what worked well or needs changing for the coming season.
