[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 7471443, member: 42308"] There's some big farms in Lincolnshire but to find 500ac like that in one block is a big ask. They're pretty much going to have to have 500ac of winter barley to get drilling that early and be looking to grow 500ac of spring barley and or sugar beet next spring. You're looking for somebody who grew 500ac of rape and has now packed in due to the neonicotinoid(spelling?) job. Problem is they're probably not growing enough (if any winter barley). Most of my local 'winter grazing' are much smaller scale and growing cover crops rather than turnips. There'll be somebody out there somewhere, I'll keep my ears open. Just as an after thought, with the sheep trade the way it's been, will we be able to afford to buy any store lambs next year???? A lot of these bug arable boys will be looking at the job now with ELMS and what have you and think it looks like a licence to print money :facepalm: :facepalm: [/QUOTE]
