For the first time in months, there is no variation between growth in the north and west of the country compared to the east and south. The average growth rate is 54kg DM/ha/day nationwide, down 6kg DM/ha/day from last week. Most significantly, however, average growth rates across all regions are resting between 51kg and 58kg DM/ha/day. As pointed out last week, cold nights and shorter days appear to be the new threat facing grass growth. Thankfully, there has been no significant drop in rates as of yet, with ground temperatures holding steady at 15°C.
