[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6571244, member: 2119"] This coming year we are trying spring cropping only: Malting barley Sugar beet Spring beans Maybe some late sown winter wheat. Fed up of: Having to soak the soil with herbicide to half kill but not completely kill the blackgrass brome and cranesbill. Battling slugs. Struggling with manganese defficiency and frost heave through the winter. Spraying insecticide twice because no seed dressings. Generally mauling about with the land as its getting wetter and colder. Laying out cash months ahead of harvest, before the crop has even really got going. Carrying disease from one year to the next. We have found that our spring barley outperforms winter barley hands down. Very late sown winter wheat has done better than October sown wheat. Not saying it works for everybody but for us we are giving it a try. [/QUOTE]
