- Face your situation – walk the farm, confirm the size of any deficit and develop a plan on how to fill the deficit for the next 10 days to 2 weeks
- Share your plan, seek advice
- Monitor actual pasture cover weekly and adjust plan every week/fortnight
- Apply nitrogen to boost growth, if low soil temperatures/high leaching apply sulphate sulphur
- Slow the rotation. The slower the rotation the quicker average pasture cover will be back on target - do not speed up the area grazed (rotation)
