Autumn 60:40 Rotation Planner
The most important task any farmer will undertake over the next two months is to ensure that the farm is closed off properly to have an adequate supply of grass early next spring.
The Autumn Rotation Planner is a tool:
- to help keep grass in the diet of grazing animals for as long as possible
- to set up paddocks for grazing the following spring
The 60:40 plan is based on having proportions of the farm closed by certain dates. The target is to have 60% of the farm closed early.
