Do Annual Cover Crop Mixes Have a Place in Grazing Programs
How’s this for growth.
This is the area where I left a cover crop to go to seed last year for stockpiled dry summer feed.
You can see how well it came away this season. Even the dog thinks it’s worth eating!

Unless the soil is in a healthy and fertile enough state to support the plants adequately 😏

Everything should dissolve with the exception of the JS mix. So it can go out through the the boom spray but you see a lot of people put it through a 100 micron filter from a dissolving tank.
part of the reason I bought the T&F as it uses a trash pump, that helps mix and dissolve with no filters and a 3mm spray orifice. Removes the majority…

Per 500 litre tank load = covers 2-3ha with the Tow and Fert
Fish Hydrolysate 35 litres (brewed on farm)
JS mix 8kg (made on farm and ~8 months old)
Seaweed solid extract 850g (Soil Dynamics)
Fulvic Acid Powder 1.5kg…

At a guess I would go say 5 litres/ ha of each
It was in a John Kempf book that I don’t have on me currently
