[QUOTE="Jimfandango, post: 7073546, member: 108190"] We have a small field that has been in a cereal/rape/legume rotation for a good few years now and needs to be put back to grass. I would like to get away from using the plough every time we drill but I'm never sure our soils are quite light enough to min till (we are mostly clay with some loam). We have however DD forage rape into stubble and that seemed to work ok. But of course rape seed is very cheap in comparison to grass. Given that this is a small field, the weather seems pretty settled and I have enough time in the year to establish grass I am willing to experiment a bit here. It's currently pea and barley stubble which has been grazed off tight by the sheep. Im planning on putting glyphosate on the headlands. Following that my thoughts were to maybe power harrow the top couple of inches, roll, and drill grass into that. Am I wasting my time? [/QUOTE]
