Do people charge when having someone graze cover crops, or perhaps pay for the seed? Or is it considered a mutually beneficial agreement and no money changes hands?
Grazed covers @ 50p/head week sounds right grazing seems to improve the effect, something to do with the plants reaction in the root to being eaten. Plus when dd this must reduce the two Simons effect. Another bonus is slugs don't like the dung had to pellet this spring where we topped but didn't graze. Not woried about drilling through the crust anymore so long as the soils warm enough.
Surely if you've planted the seed then anybody taking it for grazing should look at is the same as grass, except its a 'one off' and not a year round thing?
Good grazing is £150/acre with water and fenced so thats £12.50/month.
Put some sheep on it for a month and £12.50/acre?
But don't you want the organic matter in the soil and not removed?
Grazing isn't worth £150 in most places. Your sounding like a land agent.
For lambs, 30p per week, regards to the organic matter surly sheep turning that green leaf into dung is as good as just ploughing it under.
