[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7658150, member: 348"] Nothing will grow over winter like forage rye as I understand it, but it’s an expensive ‘something and nothing’ crop drilled late on imo. I put 17ac of stubble turnips in after SB last year, with the intention of having a high protein bite for ewes coming off fodder beet, 3-4 weeks pre-lambing. Obviously it doesn’t grow much root, but the tops start growing well from late-Feb (probably earlier down there). DD a fiver’s worth of seed per acre, broadcast 1 cwt/ac of Nitrogen fert, then shut the gate until March. I’ll be doing the same this year, on ground destined for beet next year. [/QUOTE]
