as the title staes when should

1. start building autumn grass,

2. how much fertilizer need to be spread and when best time and how many applications

3. is the so called "3rd cut grazing" a good option for milking cows, ie leave out a paddock now, spread 40 units of can, and graze mid sept at higher covers allowing the other paddocks to bulk up

thank you all

I will start building covers from now on, targeting 1000 of an average farm cover by the first of September and hope to reach 1400-1500 by middle of September, I will be spreading fertiliser every week on grazed paddocks. First paddocks closed between 10th and 15th of October and farm closed by 10th to 15th of December.
