Looks about right to me, do you think it will grow any more over winter?

I'm sure there will be some regrowth, but it won't be re grazed.Looks about right to me, do you think it will grow any more over winter?

Because I doubt there will be enough there to make it worthwhileWhy not just graze these covers a few weeks before drilling? I thought the point in the cover was to cover the ground all winter?
Sorry, misread your comment.Why not just graze these covers a few weeks before drilling? I thought the point in the cover was to cover the ground all winter?
Well I misjudged how much cover was there, the 555 sheep will be leaving on monday, which is exactly 6 weeks. We will be paid £1,165, which works out at £63/ha.
Seed cost was £30/ha, and I guess drilling + rolling was £20. So net result is the benefit of the cover crop, plus lots of sheep poo, plus about £10/ha. Not bad I think.
You'd have to pay me WAY more than that to live in WalesDown here in the 'shire that would have been worth £2100 @ .65p pw.
