[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 2690762, member: 166"] I'm trying a few out this autumn, but stubble turnips will feature where I have a weed problem. Growing them for the cattle cleaned up the land a treat. That's the Golden Hoof at work. The aim of the cover crops is partly for wildlife above ground as well as soil structure below it. The focus on more soil friendly mixes will come in time as I head for true no till. There's much to learn in the mean time. Why winter barley? Negative net margin, more grass weeds & with DD and a reduced area there's less time needed between crops. Nothing wrong with it - it just doesn't fit in here as well any more. It used to be great. Early start to harvest, time for straw baling & compost spreading before an early entry into osr. Potential to get nearly half the farm harvested in July too. Whatever suits your system. I've changed mine. I'm not bothered by wheat straw - worthless to sell here & always followed by a spring crop anyway. [/QUOTE]
