Sorry should have said ... Based in Lincolnshire Wolds where it is a little cooler on top of the hill. Really just seeing if its worth a go after getting cereal crop harvested. Some of it will be after Barley so hopefully beginning of August and some after wheat so who knows. I don't grow maize...

Just debating if its worth drilling maize as game cover after harvest so mid to late August (Hopefully). Anyone done it? Or is it best to stick a mustard crop in instead?

Does any one know if its safe to graze sheep on volunteer HEAR rape?

Just wanted an opinion from anyone who is / has already grown HEAR (High Erucic Acid Rapeseed) variety OSR. Any pitfalls with its agronomy ie lodging / shedding / disease / etc. Looking into it for the coming season but getting conflicting advice from agronomists and sales people. Not helped...

Could do with knowing measurements as well. Are you able to deliver?

Hi, where is it located? Can I come and view it?
