[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7377071, member: 86168"] no, will try and find it, did grow peas and beans for silage, peas were ok, beans proved to be uncuttable, so combined. lucerne, the best ground to grow it on, are were we plan the winter feeding, although that might alter. The biggest drawback trying to grow energy and protien, on a limited acreage, is you lose grass ground, for both grazing and cutting, seems a 1 and grass. Even though we have taken on extra acres, they are grass only, but they will take the pressure of here, which is why we are looking ! Summer might well see a much lower stocking rate as well. We have been scattering clover seed all round, and have chicory, vetch and plantain in new leys, plantain very obviously likes our soil type, gone mental, and a lot of 'weed' plantain already here. We have h/rye, and winter vetch in, so we will see the result. Farming is all about finding the 'right' balance, either by working with, or chucking money at, and am quite certain the first is the most profitable. [/QUOTE]
