[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 7676028, member: 12800"] well Ivve paid 50p head a week but sometimes in bad weather the crop gets wrekced, Paying £10/ac from 1st aug to 1st feb this winter coming, I sow and graze - Win win as Im also feeding out on the land so a good dose of on and muckon the land plus they eat the margins and volunteers out saving a glyphosate spray - LL recons its worth £35-45/ac to him in OM, Saved N and saved spray. (this is fenced) Unfenced needs to be good land to make it work - depends on the crop before, I like a good barley or wheat stubble as the volunteers add to the mix, plus a kale and oat mix, holds the soil together well so it stands up to wet weather better. I hate cultivated forage crops - one rainstorm and 30% of the crop goes in the mudd with the feet. If your wanting to sell the field for the winter and benefit from the OM and weed eating of the sheep make your own mix with Black oats, tares and kales - good early keep mix and holds the ground well, Im in North yorks, where are you?
