Spring wheat, Peas, borage, sept drilled 1st wheat, second wheat oct drilling, winter barley, then back to spring wheat.
My idea is to put the spring crops all together to run down the black grass for three years then go back to 3 years of autumn establishment. I will have 60 ha of each block so I still get 180ha of wheat each year but only 1/3 of it will be a first wheat.
It will be great for spraying as I have a 3000 lt sprayer so just x2 tanks on each block.
My agronomist thinks it's crazy and I should carry on with a first wheat then break crop rotation. But I want a rotation to really reduce black grass not just to live with it.
