Arable novice here.
What are the benefits of growing triticale in an arable rotation?
Is it a breakcrop with wheat?
How cheap is it to grow, and what yield would you expect from land that would normally do 3.5 tonne per acre wheat?
Presumably combined, and the straw is of use too?
Many thanks
Question For @Nielo I expect but anyone who knows
Undersown Cereals with Legume Herb grass mix ,do you know how much Barley and Peas per acre ,
Sorry I know I'm being lazy I should look myself

I've recently bought a second hand Case IH 733 4WD and am trying to source a front loader for it. It's also known as the International 733.
Can anyone help me out? I live in North Spain. Most loaders here are Tenias brand and there's quite a few secondhand, but need to work out which one will...
I have a stocks seeder thing that blows seed down 8 pipes onto splash plates. I’ve used it with osr across 3 m successfully. It can handle grass seed (rye grass) but how wide apart can I set the splash plates? Will 8 plates cover 4 metres evenly with grass seed? Anybody tried it?

When should such a mix be drilled?
Planning on trying some for the first time this year, spoke to the agronomist about it a couple of months back and thought the job was sorted.
When he rolled up here about 3 weeks ago, turned out it wasn’t. Ordered and still hasn’t rolled up, spray to burn the...
How are people getting on now we are paying for a dry Jan/Feb?
Spring barley drilled 2 weeks ago, not through yet. Drilled this first as on heavy ground which we managed to muck in Feb but no ploughing and it went in well.
Some spring beans drilled 10 days ago and had another go this afternoon...
I am becoming very disenchanted with growing Herbal leys.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I cannot get them to last.
I have a feeling that growing them on heavy wet clay land is not suitable. They start off very well and we try not to overgraze and fence in blocks. We rest it during the...
A local dairy farm has asked us if we’d think about growing some whole crop rye and forage maize for their dairy herd which they want to expand but don’t have the land to provide the forage needed. So what could we expect yield wise (realistic please say 6 yr average) if built into an arable...
