[QUOTE="Oat, post: 8097015, member: 1928"] Weed control and end market are the main issues. There aren't really any post em herbicide options for BLW control, and limited pre-em options, so you need to chose fields with low/specific weed burden. In France they have specific varieties tolerant to SU and imazamox herbicides, but these varieties and product uses aren't in the UK. If growing for PYO or mazes, you may make some ££, or if you can harvest and sell for bird seed. I'm not sure how easy it is to sell for oil, or what the quality is. There is a lot of info from Arvalis and Terres Inovia in France for growing them, autonomy, seed density, harvest timing etc... all in French, but Google translate is your friend [/QUOTE]
