ag (1126) - Lettuce: [p] pasture densities 2

like tuesday how we measured the density of a rye grass paddock, today we measured teh density of lucerne.

same method.

we chucked the 1m ruler at random in the paddock, wherever it landed we took a rough estimate of the height of the area of lucerne, and recorded.. then chucked again.

we have yet to compare it with the graph thingo, but lucerne could either be grown in dense or thin density, we said this crop was thin.

lucerne may not be considered to be a pasture plant due to the fact that it is not grazed, it is typically collected for making hay
