Bit short of grass area for the sheep and lambs this spring into early summer.
I’ve a field just finished with stubble turnips.
I’ve winter barley in the shed that would grow if I drilled it but presumably it wouldn’t head but grow plenty leaf?
Is it worth drilling winter barley as a cover/ forage crop and chuck in some kale, vetches and anything else? I’ve also got spring barley seed as well but don’t really want it to go to seed.
It’s need to get going early, build biomass quickly and take the pressure of new leys ejaewhere.
Any thoughts appreciated thanks.
