Bottom line - this blog is about a bloke and his grass. It is undeniably "specialist interest". The bloke has an unhealthy interest in sheep and the grass is devoid of emotion or any notable personality traits. It may well involve grass dry matter measurements, quote feed requirements for different sheep types and even specify areas that have been fenced off for a defined number of days or even hours.
It has all the hallmarks and potential to be the dullest blog ... in the world ... ever.
But actually - don’t give up just yet - really precise grassland management has the potential to double grass dry matter yields compared to continuous set stocking. Someone told me this in North Island New Zealand where grass grows all year round and might be the best grass growing region in the world. But double a lot or double a little ... is still double. It really got me thinking. I pay a lot in grass rent. It gobbles up a lot of my turnover. It takes even more of my cash. To address this ... in a really significant way such as growing a lot more grass from the same area ... for the same rent - now that IS interesting!
