[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 340251, member: 1232"] problem is you could be combining grass in a wet year with a lot of these new varieties of grass. How about considering growing the barley tidily and then spraying off a little earlier than normal to ripen it, getting in early with harvest and no tilling grass behind straight away? That said my preference would be to put a forage crop in after and treat your grass as grass and your annual crops as annual crops so go 2-3 years grass and then spring barley/turnips/spring barley back to grass or a variation on that. Its better value for your grass seed and you should grow better barley crops. I was digging about in a field that was no till spring wheat last year and was turnips the year before. After the turnips the surface was rock solid for an inch - drilled the corn in no bother and it did well. The soil is amazing now, very friable, loads of worms etc. It reiterated to me the value of stock on the land once in a while in the arable rotation. @[USER=348]neilo[/USER] may be doing somethin along these lines?
