All depends on your location and fencing requirements!

Midlands location and it needs electric fencing

Pence per head per week is fairer I think.

More incentive for the arable man to make a top job of them!!

50-60p per head per week. Maybe more if your more west of the region

Add a bit if you don't mind them hanging around past early March to maybe?

Where in the midlands? if youv not already somebody lined up I’m sure I could fetch you a couple artic load for a good price but it’s headage payment not per acre… a good crop and a bad crop could be £100 an acre difference so headage is the only way too be fair too everyone

GoldenEye Kale being eaten before any other Rapes or Kales on the trial plots ,they have not touched the turnips yet ,they are even stating on the stems

Ploughing the Turnip ground as sheep went today
The Kale and especially the Rape have long stalks left ,would never get eaten
Quite a lot of the Stubble Turnips have gone to waste ,should have been eaten in February
The only plot of roots thats been well cleared is the Massif , still feeding on the little bits today , Green Globe yielded just as well , feeding better than the Stubble Turnips but not as the Massif
I think if you want to feed late in the Winter they apart from Swedes you wont beat Maincrop Turnips especially Massif , rape kale and Stubble Turnips show to much waste that they wont eat
