The ground

Grazing ground in Dumfries and Galloway, and what it needs.

A shorter growing season and a later spring. Ground runs from good lowland grazing in the east to wet, acidic upland ground carrying rushes further north and west.

Later turnout and a tighter window for field work than further south — the summer months do most of the work, and autumn jobs are best not left late.

Not sure which of those your field needs? Describe what it looks like and the contractor will tell you — that’s their job, not yours.
