You’ll hammer grass growth rolling in this weatherDriving pigtails on outfarm. Home Farm is heavy land it's perfect for rolling atm

You could make an argument that you will hammer grass growth with rolling in any weather. If you are following cows that have peeled off a paddock clean immediately with a roller, it is hard to see how you would hammer grass growth. I am not a huge fan of rolling in general but there is a need for it in certain situations. If I didn't roll the headlands in some of our silage ground, then the silage contractor would stop coming to pick our silage, always a chance of a piece of falling timber or stone that could roll out of a ditch.You’ll hammer grass growth rolling in this weather
I'll risk it. It is heavy ground. A good few tracks in it that rolling will get rid of. There is no grass on it at the moment. Grazed bare.You’ll hammer grass growth rolling in this weather
It depends on how long after the paddock was grazed when you begin rolling. The idea is to stay in a paddock for no more than 2 days as grazed grass will start throwing up regrowths after that.You could make an argument that you will hammer grass growth with rolling in any weather.

Sometimes you've no choice so you do what works for your farm. Personally I wouldn't see any harm whatsoever in rolling any ground at the moment. Its to get milder this week and if we get another dry week there'll be no point in rolling any type of ground and the contractor men on here would all have bad backs hopping over all the rough ground in a.few weeks!Tbh I wouldn't let the silage lads in to my fields as they are.
The best grass managers don't need to top fields.. strangely they are also the ones that don't roll silage fields but expect the mower to leave a crewcut stubble in a lodged crop in field hocked by first round of grazing.The mower will level them
Is it the square root of -1 that doesn't really exist, it is only a made up number???There is the square root of feck all growing here.
My cattle are having the square root of 69.... eatin a bit..There is the square root of feck all growing here.

Those that remember their maths.
I thought theoretical physicists basically invented an imaginary number to be the answer to what is the square root of -1, to allow them solve some theory or other.A negative number cant have a square root!
i or -iA negative number cant have a square root!

Unless you into machinery and fixing them.We might think we are intelligent but it's all based on tens because we have ten fingers.
Why is there 12 inches in a foot? 16 ounces in a pound? 112 pounds in a hundred weight? 8 pints in a gallon?We might think we are intelligent but it's all based on tens because we have ten fingers.
Growths are still poor here as well. GR of 32 when I measured on Thursday, was over 50 the same time last year. I still have 5 or 6 days first round ahead before I'll have to go back into silage ground and second rotation. We got a good burst of growth after the rain last Monday but there's still a fierce drying wind around.Is grass getting tight?
The garden here was grazed by sheep which are gone off it 3 weeks tomorrow and what has grown wouldn't be worthwhile cutting with the lawnmower. Having said that there was no fert put on it but normally it grows grass too good, usually I'd be getting the sheep back after a month or 5 weeks.
Because the royals only had four fingers per hand due to inbreeding 😉Why is there 12 inches in a foot? 16 ounces in a pound? 112 pounds in a hundred weight? 8 pints in a gallon?
