[QUOTE="Spud, post: 4676602, member: 78"] Look at what works, what doesn't, and what the farm needs. (ie for horses I guess you need some grass and oats, and some straw. The carrots will need a 7yr rotation? Our heavy land pretty much follows ww ww wbeans ww ww cover crop soats. We were continuous wheat but grassweeds dictated we change. Beans and oats direct drilled, usually fym pre oats to feed the cover crop. Strategic ploughing dictated by bgrass levels. The lighter land is potatoes, wheat, w barley, sugar beet, s barley, w barley, cover, s beans, ww, wb, cover. Much pre roots, more ploughing than on heavy land. When are the carrots harvested? I'm guessing springtime? How about carrots, maize, sbarley, grass grass w barley stubble turnips s oats extra sbarley if req Let land out for carrots and maize. Grass for hay and grazing W barley plenty straw and entry for catch crop of stubble turnips for sheep Oats for horses Fodder beet and potatoes could be options to replace maize and carrots as required. Good luck, the possibilities are endless. PS I'd avoid osr! [/QUOTE]
