Crop for after WB, before beans non brassica

It should be stubble turnips but was osr 2 years ago and will be osr 1 in 6.

Do.you reckon stubble turnips would be OK (clubroot) or can you think of anything worthwhile?

Can't think of anything that beats stubble turnips for price or grazing

£40 acre? However it does make me sometimes wonder if better off selling that for grass versus beans

Crimson clover, vetch, oats and whatever else you may have knocking around?

Turnips can host clubroot but good soil pH management will mitigate that.

Fodder radish does not get clubroot symptoms although the pathogen can multiply in the roots to a certain extent, so don't expect decline in any existing spore load. Costs 2x turnip seed price generally.

I suppose other radishes such as nematode suppressing oil radish and compaction-busting daikon/tillage radish will behave similarly but they cost more, Costs 3x turnip price generally.

Some solubor helps to protect against clubroot on certain soils.

Grass. Leave it in two years.
