Not growing beans , although ideal as a break , horrible to combine and not much better to sell , rape would be good but circumstances have ruled that out
Not many of them are , stubble turnips and sheep are a good break , but I lose money on that crop . but gain a little fertility .its the break crop agronomically IMO
logistically or financial maybe not for everyone though

Forage maize is excellent , but getting dairy farmers to pay £600 an acre is a tad difficult in Staffsconsistent profitable break crops are hard to cone by these days !

That's the tough partGrass is your best bet if you can sell it .
I often wonder on small acreage of these niche crops , what you do if it’s not a lorry load or you’re left with 2-3 tons that won’t go on a lorry .Linseed is an up and down crop here. One year a ton to the acre and the next year 5 cwt.
Lupins did well though late harvest, wet. Good break for wheat, but limited market and expensive seed. They don’t like chalk.
