As the title suggests, which cover to go for? We used to grow stubble turnips after winter barley for tack sheep to graze but are stopping this coming year as we felt the turnips were too close to the OSR in the rotation.
So what can we put in instead. It doesn't need to be for sheep, but have considered a westerwolds/crimson clover mix but suspect its too expensive for sheep grazing. I would like some suggestions for a cover crop to follow wheat before spring barley that would provide organic matter, perhaps soak up any N and maybe suppress some weeds? Any ideas please?
