[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6012284, member: 348"] That’s my thinking too. Nothing is wasted, even if the sheep don’t graze it tight. I have a 13ac field that I direct drilled in early October, rather than leave bare stubble. It’s level with the top of my wellies and even starting to bulb in places. I’ll be turning 250 store lambsover the lot in a week, but they won’t do much more than take the top off I suspect, even if left until early April. I keep telling myself that the nutrients returned from the ‘wasted’ crop, arethose that would otherwise have been leached out over winter......maybe......:unsure: Or I could go all arable farmer, and pretend it was one of these fashionable ‘cover crops’ all the time.:whistle: [/QUOTE]
