🌱🌱🌱GRASS GROWTH UPDATE🌱🌱🌱

Take care! Grass growth continues to increase with almost all areas of the UK reporting growth rates as expected or higher than the 2017-2023 average. Take special care if you are in...

🌱Ayrshire
🌱Cheshire
🌱Denbighshire
🌱Dundee
🌱Hampshire
🌱Nottinghamshire
🌱Powys
🌱Wiltshire

Not all fields in the regions with reported high growth may be seeing the same growth. Regional variations will exist due to factors such as soil type, management, watering, grazing, local weather patterns, etc.

If you have horses or ponies who you struggle to manage weight on or who are prone to COLIC or LAMINITIS then please take EXTRA CARE!
