Eaten to the roots with sheep, and/or burnt off with roundup and left a few weeks.What is the solution to fields that turn over like the one in the picture?

Or rough plough, level, sow stubble turnip and try and re seed next year. However if you plough again next year you also turn back the mat of dead grass so you have that to deal with.
I was trying to float that idea to a couple of people but then they kind of wanted to know how long it would take!looking at the picture above, I have at times had to suffer similar woes and like others have said it makes far more sense to charge by the hour, after all it is fairer to both sides. However most farmers dont like to think outside the box and wont really want to go that route
I just turn the plough over and back a few timesIt's sad to see ash trees die on their feet...but when ploughing near them , especially if they haven't been ploughed in the last 10? Years it's difficult to feel sorry for them. Take the little top handle chainsaw with me now,. Saves a lot of tugging trying to get the roots out.
Very tidy ploughing there!
