nashmach Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I don't know where they are getting the grass - everyone near me are ate out - I would think it will be the middle of June before silage starts properly at home unless the grass grows at a mighty rate over the next month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
