[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 9019130, member: 54866"] I think I'd wait until spring, soil test, put right any pH, P or K issues and then drill it with kale or redstart. Graze over it in summer with your cattle (will be a boon if we have another hot dry summer as all the food will be stood there looking at you), and then run discs over it and drill with wheat in the autumn? Puts you back into cereals, gives a break from pests and disease and seed for fodder crops is cheap. You could do my grass/red clover and spring barley trick and mow and bale that but grass seed is expensive and it will want to be left for two years+ to do any good. Lucerne only practical if it drains freely. Hates wet feet. Can be sprayed for blackgrass if you know how. [/QUOTE]
