[QUOTE="Spud, post: 2883406, member: 78"] We bale nearly everything, but particularly barley straw. Chop bean and OSR straw (if im daft enough to grow the stuff!) and occasionally wheat straw. Last year I chopped more wheat straw than normal, we had plenty, ans this particular field had grassweeds, was wet, and the forecast crap. Chopped it. Vetch and mustard cover was mostly disasterous. Spring drilling very much delayed due to the mat of chopped straw preventing the soil from drying. I do think the chopped straw needs energy to break down, it'd mebe be ok if slurry was applied to the chopped straw for instance. Beans create the energy to break down their own residue. [/QUOTE]
