Last year we harvested spring barley in a 20 acre field then moved straight to winter barley in the same field. After the winter barley harvest this year we want to rotate the barley to a different silage field and grow grass on it again, but my dad mentioned growing forage rape on this field before grass, then potentially buying lambs in and fattening them over winter on it? Would that be worth doing money wise or is it risky with market prices? My dad passed away recently and I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on this because I'm not sure what to do.
