I put in a similar mix 'prota plus' last year, hope you have better luck than I did. It struggled to germinate in the cold dry weather and, thanks to my power harrow/roll cultivation strategy, the old stuff came away again. It was a stemmy mess when the lambs went on it to pick out the goodies. The IRG that did take has been a great early bite this spring, though.How about a diverse crop rather than just turnips for those 3 acres? Sounds like a plan though.
rightly or wrongly I have 15 acres of Italian and annual clovers gone in this week after veg boys decided late they didn’t want it. Down tomorrow to roll in and bring some stuff down. Ground hasn’t been moved much so hopefully the rain is still there from the weekend and we catch some more soon.
I'm right to think that the IRG will fade away after this summer?
