The Dairy Edge

Teagasc is running a weekly Let's Talk Dairy webinar series which is also being made available as a bonus podcast episode.

In this webinar, Stuart Childs, Teagasc Dairy Specialist, discusses fertiliser requirements for second cut silage and also in terms of surplus silage taken off of milking platforms over the last couple of days.

The level of grass growth is very high at the moment which as a result is creating the surplus silage.

This emphasises two things:
1) We need to walk farms more regularly to try stay ahead of grass growth
2) Trying to eliminate those surpluses in the challenging weather conditions
