Go ab11 after ab9 and then in wheat
I am working out if AB9 after an overwintered CC like Westerwolds, silaged, then drill into the green stubble would work...?

Do the rules allow a home brew blend?
Later: I guess as long as you have a raft of Invoices from a seed house...

You'd be prone to poor establishment if the weather was dry, which May/June can be. The silage would strip most of the moisture out. Good timing and little idle time though.
doesn't say anything like 'sow a recommended seed mix' so why not
Bang on, I cannot see any such mention either.

ideally you want to split the sowings.....cereals early april....rest early may IMO
Good point... would/could be a tight thing...
The heavier land we have here would be ok for this drilling, BUT the soils do not lend themselves to early silaging, even with my light kit.
Sheep grazing might be a better option!

Could be done with a DD...? 12" drill spacing for large grains, then back again with smaller seeds in between? Or maybe at 90 degrees.
All the crystal ball gazers othering profit of doom on here can I ask where you are getting your figures from for the new scheme? I cannot find a good source of information to back up any of the claims being made on here all I can find is the cs scheme rates and looking at some of the options I can easily make up the lost sub in the first 2 years for not a lot of work ,or was you expecting to get bps and the elms payment at the same time
ok my mix is 10kg each of millet/fodder radish/mustard/sunflower....so 40kg....add 325kg of wheat barley.....total 365kg so my cereal is 89%....so it is ok
I will be in touch, if, as, and when I get a replacement for my HLS...

Why? The cereals will just mature later, which is the idea. Too soon & they will be rat/pigeon food as they will just brackle over. Triticale stands well.

I saw a report, about 10 yrs ago, basically saying, as the 'west' uses ever increasing regulations, on its industries, more and more 'jobs' will go east. As the east economies increase, their workers will start to demand more and more 'better' working conditions, at the same time western countries economies will shrink, and in time, the east will be exporting work to the west !!!
No figures released for elms options payment rates
