First update of the year for Teagasc/Tirlan Monitor farmer John Ryan

Both John Ryan & I were surprised at how good some of his ground was after Monday nights rain. With 28% grazed John is grazing by day at the moment. Latest AFC is over 1103kgs DM/ha, growth of 31kgs DM/ha since last walk 2-3 weeks ago. Plan next is to get fertiliser out

Soil temp at 6.5 yesterday with John Ryan The paddocks grazed end Jan/early Feb had 500/600 kgs DM/ha back on them. Despite poor weather conditions some paddocks getting well grazing. Yes the weather helps here but so does good grass allocation, good access, plenty of gaps
