Have a 16 acre field thats been grass for about 15 years. It was in an arable reversion scheme a while ago but that expired 5 years ago and I now want to bring it back into the arable rotation as of next spring with spring barley being first crop.
Over the coming winter I want to graze it with cattle on a "root" crop.
I could go with a simple rape/stubble turnip mix DD'd into the sprayed of turf in July. But was thinking about adding maybe a few other bits to add diversity and maybe fix some N for the following crop?
What would you add to the mix.....
Vetch
Bersem clover
Oats
Westewolds

Location is South coast of UK in Devon, soil is sandy and light, aspect is NW facing and sloped.
