Re the cover crops, I found it ridiculous that when the Kings man was asked "is there a place for cover crops in a normal combinable rotation" his answer was negative.
Did you strip till in the autumn or are you all heavy land? I have heard of people going back through in the spring but am not sure it is that wise?? We were advised to freshen the strips up however we had the tilth and structure already there and did not want to lose it. Beet crop started off backward and quickly overtook anything ploughed its now the best beet we have. Soils are silty, clay loam.
Looks good, are you going to buy one?
Will you grow OSR and beet in rotation. If so how close? I wanted to go Wheat, OSR, Barley, Beet at one time but too worried about clubroot and nematodes.
