Cover crop to plant this late Infront of spring barley

[dannewhouse]

We were planning on drilling a forage rye vetch mix but it may we'll be getting too late. For that.
BG land.
Will be DD low disturbance with sb currently ploughed and worked ready for drill and fairly wet!!!
Won't be ploughed for a good free years too clean it up.

Growth opportunities are few. Do some oats out of the shed and aim to leave the surface in a state fit for drilling straight into in spring.

best crop to plant in these paddy fields at the moment is probably rice...

 

[Brisel]

Yep. Around here it's not worth risking the soil structure for anything not a cash crop.

Give it a fortnight and just plant the spring barley?

Defeats the object of combatting the BG?

Get a load of cleanings and leftovers etc out your shed and from a few neighbours and spin on with the fert spreader, bit of variety and cheap and easy especially this late in the year
