[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7977377, member: 54866"] Decide which fields are worst, and plough one or two of them up ASAP. Plant 25kg spring barley and grass on them. Add 50 units N, let it grow on and then graze it down (mob stock) or cut it for silage. You could also swap the barley + grass for crop of kale then reseed behind the kale. Soil test everything, add P and K and lime as needed. Decide if any fields can be cleaned up with grassland herbicides to leave a reasonable sward or if they are a write off. In the autumn you can also do the same and put on rape + turnips then reseed it next spring. [/QUOTE]
