    I'd be cautious - most of the more reliable forecasts are going for a cold and potentially wet March. Its certainly a possbility going on previous mild winters that often had a sting in their tail.

    spread slurry with a trailing shoe in mid january on the milking area so am going to hold off with urea until the place dries up abit. and fingers crossed the ground gets enough nutrients from the slurry alone!!! :confused:
