[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 7768303, member: 12800"] As it says - ive got the use of some thistle and blackgrass low indext (1) arable for the next 4 years FOC for grazing - and unlimited access to free pig and dairy slurry if wanted - Obviously the grazing is free to sort the weeds out for a clean return to arable in 2025- The previous arable tenant ran the ground down in constant wheat before retiring. Reading some of this stuff about only ptting on what the ground or crop needs, how do I go about sorting it? The LL is keen to get indexes up back towards 3 as the ground is Top quality arable ground. My plan was basicaly to graze it for the first two years- maxing out one or two heavy manure applications and then in year 3 and 4 cut as well as graze - while maintaining max allowable input - estimating this would get the ground to index 2.5ish ready to go back into arable (or possibly be let to myself depending on where the world is then, I may take it on). Is this still allowed or have the new rules bascially shafted the world and set us on a nice slow course to no more improvement and just decline? [/QUOTE]
