Paspalum Grass "Goes Slow"
Unfavourable weather conditions In December have retarded the growth of paspalum grass, which usually provides a great flush of Teed on Bay of Plenty pastures at this time, of the year. Farmers find difficulty in recalling another season during the past 20 years where paspalum has been so slow in "coming away." A good soaking rain is apparently needed to encourage the growth of paspalum during the next few Aveeks. In the meantime farmers who normally take a "second cut"" of hay off their paspalum paddocks are wondering if the grass will be high enough to cut in March, or whether they will; have to turn the cows in and graze the land.
