[QUOTE="Dog Bowl, post: 6994220, member: 4489"] Neighbouring arable farmer has approached me about renting some land from him to grow Italian ryegrass instead of him growing OSR as a break. Would be about 100ac which will help me enormously as I am always tight for grass. He would zero till the grass in behind spring barley at his cost. I would provide and pay for the seed and from there on in provide and apply all the fert and inputs required at my cost. All fine. The grass will only be in for 1 year before being pulled out for wheat. So, in theory id vacate the land by September. Would like to think I'd get an autumn cut after establishing (if its a kind autumn), then 3 cuts the following year. Whats this worth? I really want 2 years but he's keen on one to keep his rotation. I'd have to lean towards a westerwolds mix for the rapid and short term growth. Anyone have a similar agreement and care to share experiences?! [/QUOTE]
