Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Carbon Sequestration and Storage in Agriculture: Discussion

Mr. David Hagan:

In the summer, we are talking about a rotation length of 30 days. With that 30 days we would start grazing covers of 2,000 kg or 2,200 kg dry matter per hectare, and then we would graze down to 6 cm. We would have a different management technique on this compared to the perennial ryegrass.
