    I wasn't in aeos so this is my first year sowing oats and linseed for glas wild bird cover. The crop has come on well especially the linseed plants which have started to turn brown now. Come 16th of march I was planning to leave some cows into whatever is left of the crop to pick around until it is sown again. So what I am really asking is what will be left of the wild bird cover crop in march and is it ok to let cattle into it? Will there be anything to graze?

    Hoping to take this action for Glas 3 if I get into it and wondering was Oats and Linseed the cheapest option seeds to buy or did you but them to suit your soil type.
    Basically want to reduce cost as much as possible

    To be honest I didn't think about the different options for seed. I heard the linseed and oats were the most popular. Oats was cheap but the linseed was something like €80 or €90 for a 20kg bag. The linseed grows like mad.

    Do you need to show receipts off a recomended list of crops as to get an invoice or can you take out off various heaps to get your mix?
    Very profitable crop just put it over a gravity cleaner for someone...

    I just picked a certain mix on the list and put out the recommended amounts per hectare. All the receipts are kept for proof.
