  • Spring Sown Westerwold Hay Mix

 

Spring Sown Westerwold Hay Mix: The seedlings were glad to have a  drop of rain at the weekend.This mix will provide a full hay crop from a spring sowing (if making silage choose MIXQB). The Westerwold is proving a popular alternative to a spring cereal, rather than leaving fields fallow, to square up the rotation and get back to an autumn sown cereal later in the season.
