Buford T. Justice V wrote: » Because different soil types have different requirements. We have 6 inches of soil over limestone on most of the farm so after one week without water, the growth rates drop off a cliff because there is no moisture to carry nutrients into the grass. A quarter of the farm is heavy so during prolonged dry weather, all the growth is in that 25% of the farm. It's like in wet weather, someone with 25% of the farm being dry will be restricted to using just that 25%. I know it's not exactly like that but similar. The bonus for dry land is we get growth and utilisation on the shoulders but get low growth during the midseason. The overall growth rate across the whole country, north and south, east and west, is capable of 15t DM production per Ha each year. The difficulty is in the utilisation of it on heavy land and the lack of growth on dry land in the middle. Just don't be greedy, keep some back and send it on in August, thanks:P

Moving forward I plan on banging out some sort of PM for the month of Jan every year, the more ya do the easier it gets. Also using taxation accounts often isn't the best approach, esp if your any way creative ha, you want a good reflection of how your business is actually preforming against other farms.
