Grass forage · NACE 01.190
Second-cut leafy silage
Phleum pratense × Festuca pratensis · Norwegian: Andreslått
Softer and leafier than first cut, with less stem. Buyers who need a more concentrated forage for young stock or high-yielding animals usually want this one, and it is the cut most often short.
Whether there is a second cut at all is a question the weather answers in August, not one this site can answer in advance. Volume is confirmed per enquiry against what is in store.
The crop’s year
Typical timing at Gol. Green is when it goes in the ground, amber is when it comes off — and both move by weeks between seasons, because snowmelt and heat sum decide, not the calendar.

Harvest volume in Hallingdal depends on the season. Availability is confirmed per enquiry against what is actually in store, and no tonnage is committed before that confirmation.
Feed value varies by field, cut, weather and storage. Any figure that matters commercially comes from a laboratory analysis of the actual batch, quoted with its method and date — never from a table on a website.
