Abstract
- Climate change means UK farmers are experiencing more extreme weather conditions which can make growing crops far harder. While farmers in the UK usually have a short window to gather silage before rain, in Australia the summer's 45C heat can quickly dry out crops, so getting forage in fast is essential. It can help cover shortfalls of grass in a dry season or, if farmers have a plentiful supply of good quality grass silage, they can leave the crop and combine it. [Extracted from the article]
