📈 Despite variable rainfall, farm growth has been solid, wrapping up a good grazing season. Grass growth predictions for the next two weeks look promising. ✅ Thanks to all GrassCheckGB farmers for another dedicated year! 🌷 @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

🌱 Grass growth is strong at 15-20 kgDM/day, increasing to 20-30 next week. 🐄 Keep grazed grass in livestock diets to manage winter forage deficits. 🚜 Aim to close 75% of the grazing platform by Nov 1st. @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

🌱 Grass growth is steady at 25-30 kgDM/day this week but will slow to ~15 next week. Keep monitoring paddock covers and consider housing priority stock or supplementing at grass to maintain grazing. @TheAHDB @qmscotland @HybuCigCymru @UKAgriTech

🌱 Grass growth predictions for the next 7-14 days are below average at 15-30 kgDM/day. 🌧️ Wet weather has disrupted grazing plans, so aim to save drier areas to reduce surface damage. 🚜 @UKAgriTech @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland @TheAHDB

🌱 Grass growth is steady but slightly below the 5-year average, with modelled growth of 30-35 kgDM/day expected this week. As daylength and grass quality decrease, prioritize grazing wetter/heavier areas to maintain intakes. 🐄 @TheAHDB @qmscotland @HybuCigCymru @UKAgriTech

🌱🌾 Grass growth is on target with predictions, staying close to the 5-year average thanks to steady soil moisture and temperature. Modelled growth of 35–45 kgDM/day will help maintain cover while conditions are favorable. 🚜 @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

🌱 Grass growth is steady and aligning with 5-year averages, with soil moisture and temps stable despite recent rains in Wales and southern England. 🐄 Grazing is advised while conditions are favorable.🚜 @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

Grass growth is well below the seasonal average, making it tough to hit intake targets for milk production and DLWG. With predicted growth of just 30-40 over the next week or two, monitor AFC closely and adjust feeding or stock. @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

Grass growth is just below the 5-year average. Stay flexible with grazing management as autumn approaches—adjust feeding or stock levels if needed. Keep measuring weekly and aim for clean graze outs to encourage healthy growth. @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @qmscotland @HybuCigCymru

🌱🌾 Grass growth is nearing the 5-year average, with predicted rates of 40-50 kgDM/ha/d supporting strong intakes and cover build-up. Aim for a 26-day rotation and an average cover of 2,250-2,350 kg DM/ha.🌿@theahdb @HybuCigCymru @UKAgriTech @qmscotland

🌾 Exciting News! Our final case study of the series features HCC farmers, the Davies family from Penlan. Don’t miss their story! @UKAgriTech @HybuCigCymru @TheAHDB @qmscotland

🌱 Grass growth dipped below average, so regular monitoring of grazing platforms is key as growth rates will vary. Predictions of 45-65 should help return to the LT average. @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

Next in our fourth farmer case study series, we're featuring Will Langton from Crowfields Farm. Read how GrassCheckGB is helping with grazing management and is enhancing regenerative dairy practices on farm🚜 @UKAgriTech @HybuCigCymru @TheAHDB @qmscotland

🌱Recorded grass growth is close to 2023 figures & exceeded long-term average. A decline is expected due to forecasted dry conditions. Herbage ME values are similar to recent weeks, with typical protein levels for this stage @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @qmscotland @HybuCigCymru

🚜 Exciting News! We’re thrilled to announce the 3rd installment of our Case Study Series, featuring HCC farmer Alwyn Phillips! 🌱 Join us as we dive into Alwyn’s innovative farming practices and insights. Stay tuned! @UKAgriTech @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland @TheAHDB

🌱Grass growth has exceeded the long-term average but is set to decline, especially in S England due to forecasted dry conditions. Herbage ME values are below optimum—ensure good paddock cleanout for quality in rotations. @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @qmscotland @HybuCigCymru

🚜Exciting news! Next in our farmer case study series, we feature Duncan Nelless from AHDB. Discover his innovative farming practices and insights into overcoming industry challenges. Stay tuned for an inspiring story! @UKAgriTech @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland

🚜🌱 Grass growth is booming, set to exceed long-term averages! 🔧📉 However, recent ME values are sub-optimal. Take corrective action now to ensure high-quality pasture and adjust rotation speeds in August. 🌿 @HybuCigCymru @TheAHDB @qmscotland @UKAgriTech

🌱📊 Exciting news! GrassCheckGB will feature a weekly farmer case study for the next 5 weeks, thanks to HCC and AHDB. First up this week: HCC farmer Richard Rees! 🌾👨‍🌾 @TheAHDB @HybuCigCymru @qmscotland @UKAgriTech

🚜🌾 We've crossed the halfway mark of the 2024 growing season! Despite the challenges, it's time to assess individual paddock growth and overall performance. Let's plan improvements for even better swards and infrastructure. 💪✨@qms @HybuCigCymru @TheAHDB @UKAgriTech
