Grass Work
All Grass work under taken for Hay & Haylage Contracts.
- Grass Harrowing - helps clears moss, opens the surface, improves aeration and encourages growth.
- Sward Lifting - designed to break up hard pans and surface compaction while lifting and opening up the subsoil creating improved drainage.
- Grass Rolling after Harrowing and Sward Lifting we finish off with Rolling leaving the ground compacted ready for the grass to start growing.
- Mowing - when the weathers right and the Grass is at its best we will start the hay making process with mowing the grass - well-cut crops promote regrowth which is perfect if you want to take a 2nd cut.
- Tedding - Speed up the drying process for the perfect dry-matter content in our crops to create the best quality Hay & Haylage.
- Raking your crops as neatly as possible into the perfect swath, ready for the baler.
- Conventional Bailing, Big Bailing & Round Bailing
- Wrapping - By wrapping the bales of crops as quickly as possible, you do not give oxygen the chance to contaminate the fermentation process for Haylage.
