Grass Focus for the Month Ahead

September 10, 2026 · 20 min

Show notes

Grass10 advisor, Nikki Kennedy, joins us to discuss some key grassland management tips for the month ahead.

We look at current grass growth rates on farms and the recovery in areas that were impacted by the drought.

We discuss the steps farmers can take now to build grass covers as we move into autumn, including fertiliser application and the opportunity to spread lime.

Nikki also discusses managing autumn reseeds and the impact it can have on production next spring.
