Any crop worth drilling in June?

[cquick]

I've got a field of poor linseed + multi-resistant wild oats. I'll be taking the nuclear option soon with 3 litres of glyphosate.
Of course it's a great opportunity to get a big cover crop in, but is there anything I can drill that might even come close to washing its face?
Would it be worth a try with Buckwheat or Sunflowers? Even just to multiply some cover crop seed?
Too late for maize?
Any thoughts appreciated

lot depends on what herbicide you used i suppose

A fodder crop of some sort or westerwolds if you can use/ sell the fodder.

Second this if you have a use or a customer

Drill with linseed again. Harvest next March/April. Follow with s barley. 2 crops in 1 year.
Now, where's that box I've been told about....

What herbicides have you applied so far? What soil type is it?

I agree with @SilliamWhale - stubble turnips sown now would give you a quick catch crop and the Golden Hoof will sort a lot of the weeds. Your local agents will be able to find a grazier for you. Can you get water to it?

cover crop - did this after failed soya a few years ago and have had my investment back many times over in better following crops

Avadex, Maya, Falcon were applied so should be able to get most things established, doubt there's much Avadex left now.
Light loamy sand, dry, slightly acidic and it's due lime this autumn.
The field was in a 7 way cover crop which was grazed before the linseed.
Ideally I'd like to get it back into wheat this autumn and then attack with different chemistry, e.g. Monolith / spring atlantis but it does feel unwise going straight back to a problem crop.

A cover of Sunflowers/buckwheat/peas/W barley is tempting as I have the seed in stock

MAIZE.

Hope it rains mind, could be late to harvest.

Cover crop would be my preferred option.

Catch crop would be much better. Fatten some lambs or have tack sheep. Actually make a bit of money out of it.
I was reading a recent copy of Arable farmer , where a progressive farmer was saying cover crops weren’t all they are cracked up to be .

I view them as the same thing really, if you can graze a cover crop with sheep or cattle so much the better but anything is better than nothing.

Sunflowers (with buckwheat and sorghum in the bottom) looking spectacular so it's time to start farming people!
Currently reached 170k impressions organically on Facebook, £5 entry for photos and 6 stems, all proceeds will be given to charity. Expecting it to bring in more than the linseed ever would have!
Brought the combine out too for a bit of farming education and as a comms mast for the card terminal

Good idea. There's a few of these springing up.

Only saying the next sentence 'tongue in cheek', but the guy on the payment desk doesn't look too busy!

That said, some friends tried to book in for sunflower picking near us, and they'd totally sold out.

Wow! I'm in awe of your marketing skills.

Seriously, how did you get the word out there so successfully?
