Closing up silage ground - the key things to consider

With farmers starting to close up silage ground in the coming weeks, Teagasc Drystock advisor Gerard Cregg based in Castlerea, Co. Roscommon is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast to discuss the main things farmers need to consider. 

 

Gerard advises to complete a fodder budget for silage that will be needed and it is important to determine the quality of silage also needed and to have a plan. 

 

Applying the required N, P & K nutrients is also important and Gerard discusses the various fertiliser plans.
