[QUOTE="DeeGee, post: 6778814, member: 6695"] I can’t see a problem finding someone to graze sheep for 3 acres, but check if they need some grass lie back to balance the turnips: in which case you might need to re think that one. What about leaving it fallow over winter, maybe someone would be glad to put slurry or muck on it over winter, and then back into spring barley? Spring barley will probably pay as well if not better than winter if the field is likely to be wet over winter. Winter wheat is expensive to grow well and probably not as easy to sell as barley in our area, I wouldn’t really consider it on three acres, too many sprays needed etc. See what others say before listening to me!
