That no straw would ever leave the farm again and we would have maximum carbon return to the soil across the whole farm ( Historically have only sold Winter Barley straw before OSR , rest of crops all chopped )
Now turned into a nightmare .......Slug fest. Full rate metaldehyde + 6kg/Ha ferric phosphate gone on to OSR planted into chopped Winter Barley straw, probably be re-drilling this week.
Anyone else out there direct drilling or very min tilling OSR into chopped Winter Barley straw successfully or am I the only Village idiot ?
