[QUOTE="Derrick Hughes, post: 8148297, member: 473"] We have 150 acre of land that water logs ,peat over blue clay , would not dream of growing crops on it , the last time they tried was in the war the lost a binder in the peat that was never recovered, used to be you could hardly get a tractor across it in the hight of summer , it's now stocked most of the year when we are not cutting silage from it , The right grass seed on it, please no digs on selling seed , we never put the cattle on it only in very dry weather , sheep are part of the answer, but the main point if you have have an intesive growing grass the water offtake is over 8000 gallons acre day , but needs to be a dense sward that supports stock in winter when it's waterlogged, Fields have never been moled or drained , Sorry not much help to you if your growing crops mind , Maybe consider grassing it down and getting some sheep in it [/QUOTE]
