[QUOTE="Chae1, post: 7650957, member: 2681"] In a mixed farming situation with grass and plenty muck I have found it doesn't cost much more to grow winter barley than spring barley. We have grown it 2 years on the trot after long term ley and get decent yields and plenty straw. Winter barley looking much better than spring barley at moment despite one of coldest and wettest springs on record in this area. Earlier harvest gives the opportunity to establish forage crops after or reseed it back into grass. We just use a min till cultivator with a small seeds box on it and go straight into stubble.
