[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7651012, member: 348"] What’s your land like? I’m on moderately heavy stuff and grow both Winter & Spring Barley, both are here only to fit round fodder crops to feed sheep tbh. WB struggles here in a wet winter, as it hates having wet feet, and it really needs early N applications to get it tillering (hence mostly recovered from last winter here). SB is cheaper to grow, can yield similarly, but makes for a late harvest on heavy soils that keep it green. WB would allow you to get a good grass ley in next year, if that’s your aim, or a strong fodder crop for the winter to follow with a Spring reseed. [/QUOTE]
