It's been known to happen down here - sometimes it ends up as feed wheat instead of high grade (but it's still wheat)Could this work ?
100% spring crops - milling wheat
Fertility building (legumes) break crop established at harvest then destroyed via sheep grazing or crimper roller on frosts (Or both)
Wheats drilled low disturbance on wide rows and hoe used to control weeds ?
The man says he always puts more effort and thought into the cover crops (& management of) than his cash crops - it's quite a mindset change in this respect
I should add they don't expect to have a cashcrop from each acre each year, either, but there are a lot of livestock involved
