Hello all, I am doing an online course in how to grow certain crops, I have always had an interest in agriculture and keen to expand my knowledge I thought this would be a good start. Because I did some research, I decided on the following rotation. WW WB WOSR WW WBean maize. (All crops grown locally to me so I easy to study spray timings, etc) my question is this... In order to reduce the workload, would it be feasible to grow say 50 acres of wheat, followed by 25 acres barley, the other 25 acres being winter beans, then 25 oilseed after barley and maize after beans. Would maize do well after beans or is that a bit pointless, having a double break crop. If it wouldn't, what alternatives are there to put in its place? Generally speaking, would the rotation work? If not, why and what could I change! As I go through the course I am sure more questions will arise and its always best to go to the experts!! Thanks in advance.
