... not a great pic, but it's a field of self set osr. Was rape last year and nothing has been done in there since the combine left.
No seed cost, no fert, no spray and no flea beetle damage (well, not enough to have thinned it out at - I expect there's that many plants there the poor little beetles just choked to death).
Apparently, it will be grazed at some point during the winter.
Who knew? Continuous rape - all you need is to establish a crop once and you're quids in for the next few years
