    The 13kg / acre packs contained top yielding Italian and Hybrid Rye Grasses to give high yields of top quality grass for up to 3 year duration.

    The see was broadcast on and lightly harrowed ,then rolled.

    Mr Cawston is very happy with how the ley has established

    Comments Off on Early grazing with Duffields Fast Grass grass seed mixture

    PG Rushmer of Norwich has been able to get his cows outside since 20th  February for some early bite grazing.

    He drilled 30 acres of Duffields Fast Grass grazing mixture, relatively late, on 10th October.

    This is a short term ley containing specialist early growing varieties,which will grow at temperatures above just 3-4 degrees Celsius.

    The characteristics of early spring growth and vigor has translated into a useful early bite of fresh grass.

    The result being an early boost of milk from forage
