[QUOTE="Adeptandy, post: 3463516, member: 23502"] As above, I'm thinking about taking the plunge and having a crack at DD. The reason why, well, I do like the theory, slightly concerned as I know only what I've read on here. So, the reason, 1st Nov this year I have 120 -200 acres coming out of a HLS that has had 8 years of low density cattle and the last 2 years of Sheep, hay has been baled off some fields each year. I informed from the leaving tenant that no bagged fert has been applied, only whats come out of the back of the animals while grazing. The soil type is Peaty organic soil over clay with area's where the peat has disappear through Fen Blows now a Silty Clay Loam. The grass will hopefully be grazed fairly close at changeover. 1, Is this a good idea/entry time ? 2 Was hoping for W Barley and W Wheat on half of it on the 1st of November with S Beans & S OSR in the Spring........would this work ? The existing farm is currently reduced tillage, Cousins Patriot after harvest and then 2 weeks before drilling a swift pass with the power harrow to get a good BG chit before drilling with the Vaddy. Have access to a contractors Weaving GD, also have a chance to demo a couple ( Sky & Sumo ) Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
