[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7058396, member: 44728"] For Winter Barley, I’m fairly convinced that it is mostly a combination of the March/April/May drought PLUS the very late frosts we had in May, which destroyed a lot of the flowers in the ears. Our worst yields were very much worse where we had low lying frost pockets. And the first time round the fields which are shaded by trees and Hedges was definitely the highest yielding. I knew this when I was testing the moisture before we started Combining. It took 4 ears of grain to filled the moisture meter chamber on the good stuff and 9-11 on the worst stuff. With regards which is best Muck -v- following Grass, grass is better by a bit. However, sometimes it is the 2nd year following grass that can be even better. There is no doubt that grassland in a rotation can be a huge yield builder in arable crops. But Muck is a much better provider of plant nutrients than artificial Fertilisers IMO. [/QUOTE]
