    Chopping or dropping

    Selling most of ours. Rape doesn’t like a seed bed full of straw, and we don’t have the kit to properly incorporate yet, plus the local farmers are willing to pay the price.

    Ab15 mowing again

    Probably a daft question, but will vetch and clover suffer if cut frequently while flowering ? The black grass is re heading every couple of weeks now, so needs to be cut, but I’m fearful of ending up with no legumes through continuous mowing.

    Simtech tsem and beans

    Straw for muck ?
