Sward Management

Needs to be sown in spring or by early September to allow the clover to establish well enough to survive the winter. A first cut in the middle of May will produce 70D + silage, with a second cut seven to eight weeks later. The first cut will tend to be more grass with red clover being the larger part of the later cuts.
