CENTENARY

Three year centenary red and white clover mix MEDIUM-TERM

Grazing

Silage

Due to a shortage of five year red clovers we have had to replace AberChianti with Merviot a high yielding three year red clover. This high protein, high energy grass mixture is ideal for two to three cuts followed by quality aftermath grazing which will finish lambs very well. The red and white clover content can also help fix up to 100-150kg/N/ha/year presenting opportunities to reduce nitrogen application.
