I'd say that 2.5t was pretty/very good for a spring crop (given the 2018 drought).

If you wouldn't mind me asking, was MCPB the only herbicide @Fuzzy ?

And what did you do with the crop? Separate it or mill it with the peas and oats still mixed together?

Unseparated and fed whole. ...would make perfect feed for sheep, only thing is its a bit harder to formulate a ration with,techically,
but fine for home use / with a bit of a 'guestimate'

Sorry i missed this post! Yes it was the only herbicide used. I sold it as a mixed crop. I also had a crop of Barley/beans and sold it again as a mixed crop for animal feed.
