    They're saying 20l from grass at the minute, then feed 1kg for every 2.5l above this. 30l = 20l from grass + 10 from nuts ( 10 divided by 2.5 = 4} or off their backs 40l = 20l from grass + 20 from nuts =8kgs but will you get 20l from grass on a cold wet day?

    Wholecrop choices.

    Here's a bit of a heads up for you about spray timing, albeit that it's written by a crop protection co. and they are throwing everything at it.

    Wholecrop choices.

    More options feeding wise with combined grain. But if you can't get propcorn or if it goes flat, stick it in the silo. Have you looked about seed yet, I'd say there's a few people thinking the same as yourself. And seed probably isn't that easy to get across the water anymore, cuz o' Brexit...
