Ahl2 mixes and Take-all break

[Zippy768]

Still considering the "sow after winter barley" approach for the ahl2.
Would replace a break crop.
All mixes contain a cereal, - spring barley or spring wheat.
Anybody worried about not getting a clean cereal break with this approach. Or is Feb to September a long enough break?

I don’t think it would be no. Just my opinion. Can you use oats?

Why do this? Other options are more straightforward in terms of meeting the aims of the scheme. SFI options can be utterly risk free. With other options can be a better take all break.

£££ is why.
I've tried looking at other options, but ahl2 then ahl1 in the same crop year just pays too well

Need the winter barley and straw for cattle

Buy it from the profits Or drop a wheat or a legume year for barley, that’s my plan for a bit of sheep feed

Just buy straights and make your own. Will save a fortune too.
millet, fodder radish, mustard, linseed, buckwheat, spring osr,

Are you going to crimp it to get it off earlier, and AHL2 in earlier?

@Zippy768 I’ve got a AHL2 seed mix on the shelf with no cereals specifically designed for this situation. PM me with areas if interested .

If no cereals, would it be brassica based instead?

It’s uses spring oats still as a white straw break and the rest is brassica / oilseeds / sunflower / millet etc
