So as part of my stewardship scheme I have to grow 4Ha of brassica, on option AB13, so no sprays. Assume it’s designed for stubbles after winter barley, but I eat to use it as a break in some grassland that needs reseeding, 20+ old leys.
intend to put it in with my old rickety Moore.
just wondering what crop people would use, we will graze it with sheep, so assume cheap stubble turnips will be the best option.
many advice before I order the seed/roundup very much appreciated.
