Main silage crop...ready to cut?

Wel how are lads fixed? Walked mine this evening. Thought I'd be cutting this shortly, but will leave til bank holiday to let it bulk up another bit. All into a pit.

ps. Notice alot of dirty crops around my area (docks). Will there be consequences to all this 'spring slurry' ? High potash has to be a contributing factor?

Its fit to cut but there is no sunshine to get the sugars up. at this rate it will be after the bank holiday weekend. (macra first, then silage

)

will be at least another week for as others have said going to let it bulk up a bit. will only be feeding to dry cows so quailty is not as important.

on another note has any heard anything about covers been hard to get at the moment.had aphone call the other evening from suppleir saying it will be 10 days before he can get them.
