[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7628417, member: 2119"] 3 tons is my target and I can achieve it some years. We have had 50% grass in the rotation until this year which helps and FYM from the cattle we had for a few years. I grow the feed variety Westminster which is a real barn filler with masses of straw but sadly I don’t think it’s a variety that’s continuing to be commercially available. So we’ll save our own seed for next year. Stands better than Planet here and can’t seem to get rid of malting barley without a contract so I don’t bother with it. Opportunistic stubble turnips can work well with it. The sheep clean up, then paraplow and drill in the spring. All that lovely sheep muck just nicely incorporated. Turnip establishment can be hit and miss that late though, but seeds cheap so no great loss if it fails. [/QUOTE]
