    I am not a farmer but have 6 acres of land that I have farmed down through the years as a sort of past time...I have got hay/corn off it over the years. Last year I went with barley but this year my big neighbouring farming friends are telling me that with the cost of spray and stuff I would loose money doing it again this year - the cost of sprays/fertiliser etc in unreal.

    I'd like to do something with it rather than rent it out as I have an interest it in. Machinery is not really a problem as neighbours look after that for me...we all do jobs for each other.

    Any recommendation on what I should do with it this year so that I would at least break even?

    Apply to glas and plant it with Wild bird cover. 900e a hectare or 365e an acre payment.
