[QUOTE="Andyt880, post: 7596572, member: 25474"] I am thinking of getting 4 acres of old grass land Direct drilled with turnips after second cut silage. Winters are wet here and land wouldn’t be the lightest but this would be one of my driest fields in winter. Never grazed a forage crop over winter here before. I am wondering would I get away with not burning off the grass if I got the turnips in as soon as the grass is lifted off the field? My thinking is if there was a grass bottom in it then it should carry a lot better in wet times, but maybe the grass regrowth would smother out the turnips? It would likely need a few runs with a grass harrow before drilling to get the old thatch out of the bottom a bit. [/QUOTE]
