[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 38557, member: 192"] I think the only thing we could go back to is beans which I am not keen on to be honest, although it would be an excuse to plough resulting in no herb needed, but I am sat with the following crops in no particular order. 1st wheat, 2nd wheat, winter barley, spring barley (not keen though) and potatoes rotated on about 15% every year. Spring crops here historically have not worked very well if we get a dry spring which is why I am reluctant to grow them and have had disasters with spring beans, spring barley and spring linseed. So I am seriously thinking about fallow because grass isn't really a market around here and I dont want to be trying to bale hay or anything like that. Maize possibly an option but its following it up thats the problem. In the back of my mind I am tempted to go ww on the lot and nothing else bar just rotating potatoes and some fallow on weedy areas but I've tried continuous wheat before and it didnt really work very well at all and was costing the same as a 1st wheat to grow but yielding half at times.
