(previous record was 1988)
Yet the talk around the dairy farmers is growth was slow during Sep. For this area there was little frost but not many warm days which slowed things down

Same here growth was pretty slow in September, I put it down to the incredibly dry conditions we experienced in August and early September, since the recent low level snow and rainfall events growth has taken off again.
