We've just taken on a bit of extra ground which was in temporary grass. I've sprayed it off last week and it's starting to die off but it's going to be a bit late to put in any winter wheat by the time it's ready to plough in. I could put in spring barley behind it but would prefer to plant wheat.
Is spring wheat viable on Cotswold brash if planted early enough, or would I be better off sticking with barley?
Nobody grows it round here nowadays but I can remember some farmers growing it in the eighties / early nineties and it was always very late to come off.
