[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6312918, member: 86168"] yes, cut leafy, but it was starting to head, not the best of springs for growing, so, if we were to leave it for another 2 or 3 weeks, would it be a better quality ? or should we leave it for whole crop, followed by rape/kale ? as it was developed for digesters, must have some good feed value. a lot of members on here, probably won't believe me, when I say that, back in the 70s we used to put several thousand bamboo canes, in 4 metre squares, and then tie string across them to try and stop the rooks crows jackdaws, and a host of other avian types eating the shoots ! then came an anti bird dressing......bliss but now that dressing is going to disappear, and packam wants to stop us shooting bird pests...…..Hence I am really keen to find alternatives. and another snippet of information for the younger generation... we used to get crops up to 15-20 feet high, and when we started ,we only had a 1 row harvester [/QUOTE]
