[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 9240893, member: 2119"] Winter barley drilled 3rd week of September will soak up residual N and cover the ground fairly well, maybe better than a late drilled cover crop. I was thinking about NUM3 and leaving aside the risk that it will harbour blackgrass and be a pain to establish, the fact of the matter is it displaces what used to be bread and butter cash crops that gave a gross output double the NUM3 payment. This year I have lots of wheat even if it is patchy. I think I follow it with winter barley rather than mess around too much. My half failed OSR will be followed by wheat. This years winter barley will be followed by a herbal ley for grazing. I think that will be the limit if my involvement. Next year I will be looking for a break crop over more area. Might look again then though I haven’t given up on OSR. I just feel I will be poorer all round going down the SFI route with a danger of getting rubbished up with weeds etc. [/QUOTE]
