Fertiliser, Hedge Cutting & Zero Grazing

In this video:
I spread the last of the fertiliser before the closing date.
We get the hedgerows trimmed.
We try some zero grazing for the first time.
My name is Mark Collins. From growing up and working on my family farm in Ireland, I have developed a strong passion for agriculture. As people become more concerned about where their food comes from, it is vitality important that the right information is at their fingertips. Through my Instagram account and UA-cam channel, I show the day-to-day running of our grass based dairy farm and how we work hard to continuously improve our business in-line with our focus on Social, Economic and Environmental Sustainability.
Support Sustainable Agriculture and leave the place better than you found it.

Zero grazer is a great machine. We had 10 acer grass last October. Got 3 load in. A big night rain we couldn't do any more. It will work on dry land. We finish it of in march. 10 load

Can't understand how cost of zero grazing isn't less than mowing, Tedding, raking baling and drawing bales?

[@MCMilkingIt]

The crop of grass we are zero grazing would yield 4/5 bales to the acre. So I'm comparing it to expensive high quality bales that I would feed to milk cows

How much fertiliser do you use per ha/year?

[@MCMilkingIt]

Currently target around 200kg/N/ha

[@fusion7865]

You'll have to get a double chop bought old lad

[@MCMilkingIt]

Ah the cows can do the chopping 🤣

[@reubentaylor3323]

Great vid la' from Wales how long does it take you to milk each time

[@MCMilkingIt]

About 1hr 15mins/1hr 30mins to milk. Just over 2 hours including wash up and all that

[@reubentaylor3323]

@@MCMilkingIt wow that's quick takes us 4-4.5 hours to milk 580 in a 50 aside hetting bone

[@mikekinsella7575]

Would be great to see another video of how ye got on with the zero grazing, assume cows did same litres and solids on it than they would have if they had grazed it or had it as bales.

[@MCMilkingIt]
