Maybe ,but would cost a lot to test the whole farm , You can be aware of what a crop is removing A sheep farmer , very little Someone taking 3 cuts of silage a very lot Someone taking 2 cuts of Horse Haylage and and no animals on the farm is basically selling his soil

If your planting now to take out in September then Westerwolds is best option, for both options Cost £32.26 acre , dont know what you mean by hi vigour seed though This week "Cut the westerwolds we had from you last year and drilled after wheat ,on Thursday/Friday and baling it tomorrow...

Depends how much muck and how good it is but silage and hay will drain the k out of your soil if the mucks poor quality

Catch 60 to 70 every spring here ,never any less

Whole crop can be planted a lot later End of may would still be ok

Think youvneed to read the advice Remove the cut vegetation, where possible, to help reduce the risk of it smothering the flower species and limit weeds – if it’s impractical to do this, you can finely chop them to spread them as thinly as possible.

Seed going out fast now, farmers seem to have woken up lol , amazing what a few days dry weather can do

If i disagree with my wife shes says im nasty For a peaceful life ive learnt its best to say please and thankyou and dont disagree , being nasty gets you nowhere. , but it also helps to have a man shed in the garden ,

You could say that about any aspect of farming , 2000 milking cows ? , i had 7 kids , my day had a stroke so i supported him and his family as well ,

Most i ever had was 3000 ewes ,outdoor lambing ,one man most of the time
