[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7627679, member: 2119"] I have gone monocrop continuous spring barley on some really light fields as an experiment. Direct drill every spring. Combine , leave straw chopped, repeat. So far I can’t see a downside. 3 tons per acre. Minimal cost. Next year home saved seed. Getting ready for loss of beet. OSR already gone. Heavy land will probably go continuous winter wheat plough based. Spring beans are no good in heavy land here nor is spring barley. Keep it simple. Don’t pee about with things that are a major headache and with which a loss is almost guaranteed from the outset. Specialise, focus and get it right, play to the soil types strengths. [/QUOTE]
