This week has been a focus on alternative cropping options that can help provide returns for farm businesses. Yesterday was a look at pulses, whilst today will be alternative oilseeds, namely linseed and domestic soyabeans.
The oilseed rape area has been declining each season since 2011/12 with the exception of the rise in 2018/19. Our Early Bird Survey (EBS) intentions point to an 18% decline to 312Kha in 2021/22, down 58.7% from 2011/12. The ‘other oilseeds’ intended area is expected to increase 18%.
Break crops form an integral part of conventional crop rotations, and so an increase in alternatives from OSR is occurring. Information from Premium Crops and Soya-UK has enabled a domestic picture to be built around these crops, given the lesser data coverage by Defra.
