Episode description
Dr. Philip Creighton joins us on this week’s OviCast to discuss key aspects of grazing management for the weeks ahead.
We discuss opening covers on farms this spring, the factors influencing them, and their implications for management post-turnout.
Philip also shares insights on fertiliser application response rates and the economics behind it.
Additionally, we dive into grazing management strategies, target residuals, spring rotation budgeting and setting up the second rotation.
