[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7801533, member: 86168"] we have to wait a bit for analysis, the one we took, was very wrong, and now, we have to wait till we get to it, in the pit, awful lot of grass on top ! rye seed was about £700/t and put in at 80kg/acre, l cant remember the vetch seed, so plough, combi drill, and 50kg acre of 34.5N. Our contractor said 15t/ac for rye, and 18t/ac for maize, his figures, not ours. Not repeating this year, as rye really needs to go in, in sept, we didn't think our maize would be fit by now, so winter wheat, instead, but, as long as it analysis ok, will be back on, next year. Apart from the seed, it's a really cheap crop to grow, rye scavenges any spare N, in theory, the vetch should leave some N for the following crop, kale, then s barley, well that's the plan, at the moment, looks quite a sensible rotation. Maize, rye, maize is just to tight a timescale. Having just read [USER=120460]@Fenwick[/USER] post, as long as we get another 2 dry days, we hope to min-til the wheat, if not, the dreaded plough.
