Not exactly the textbook rotation, I know! But has anyone done it?
I often hear farmers talking about it here on the South Downs where they are usually the best paying crops but never actually seen it done.
I would think baled barley straw followed an 8 week cover crop would be helpful? Muck back in front of the barley. Wheat at ~400 seeds in late October?
What could go wrong? Do you think I’d suffer a wheat yield penalty?
