[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 9240852, member: 3169"] Not plain daft DrW. Overwinter covers are shown to reduce leaching of Nitrates. And possibly soil too, maybe more dependent on previous crop. But as I have said before SFI is about Defra using a carrot of cash to encourage behavioral change. Rewarding those who have adopted techniques of which Defra approves and to encourage those who may adopt such techniques. You may not agree with those behavioral changes and there is no obligation to join the scheme and adopt any of the techniques. And at the moment no obvious compulsion. So carry on with early drilled Winter Barley. Downside may be Blackgrass. Don't think Defra thought though of the ingenuity of farmers with the sowing date of Bird Cover! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
