Tractorman810 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 seen a good bit of kit being moved round ready, and trailers in yards ready to, but no cutting, grass doesnt look thick enough yet this way anyway that i can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's coming on up here, some very lush leys around now. I think it could do with a couple more drinks before the mowers come out though just to make sure and get the ground damp ready for the regrowth.

Tommy Gough Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 One contractor close to use has cut some but it was just a few bales to keep the farmers cattle happy. The farmer also wanted to plough the ground up for maize and didnt want to plough up too much grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Soil temps around here only broke through 10 deg C early this week, but the growth in the last few days has been amazing. Prolly 5 weeks before we'll see the rampage starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
