Works well, brilliant beans & then wheat & really low inputs
If you got no grass you cant put muck on it can you and a realy good cloverey sward will do a lot to look after it selfThe question was ? Grass or muck . Answer has to be Muck because you even have to put muck on grass to improve it .

I'll tell you this time next year.How is the wheat after this?
Wouldn't like to offer any guaranteesMabye not an issue in scotland?
You say you're looking at poorer ground for grazing, would that potentially affect the quality of grass and have a knock on effect to your stock.? If you had to improve it how much cost would you incur etc etc?just curious as to peoples thoughts here im currently running 200 sucklers and followers plus stores and sheep on 500 acres of grass 220 silage/280 grazing im looking for some poorer ground to buy/rent for grazing the stock as its arable ground theyre on which could be growing a crop, the only concern i have is taking the grass out of the rotation will my yields suffer? i will still be applying much to the ground although it would then be spread over an extra 280 acres, what are peoples thoughts? is it worth doing this or just stick how i am?
tightening them up and rotating is an option but requires a lot of workYou say you're looking at poorer ground for grazing, would that potentially affect the quality of grass and have a knock on effect to your stock.? If you had to improve it how much cost would you incur etc etc?
Could you look at increasing grazing efficiency on your existing land, freeing up existing acres to allow you to rotate your crop. Do more with the same area? Rotate the crop area, so you can use it as a reseed opportunity as you go back into grass each time?
I guess it all comes down to doing the sums to work out which route gives you the best margin etc etc and making sure there aren't any unintended consequences too.tightening them up and rotating is an option but requires a lot of work
Good idea as long as the soil fertility and grass quality are as good as or better than home and not too distant.Find some ground to cut silage off. That way your bringing fertility home
My dairy man just cut this now got his cattle on itGood idea as long as the soil fertility and grass quality are as good as or better than home and not too distant.
