Theres an old saying that goes something like; “ it’s better not to comment, and be thought a fool, than to comment and confirm it” ! LOL ! But don’t worry, I haven’t given up on your education, even though it now seems more of a penance for my past deeds than a charitable contribution ! Cheers. 1 1 Quote Link to post

I’d guess, but could be wrong, that it’s to get two crops a year. Someone like Don will give a far better answer than me . See, it’s easy to say you don’t know ! LOL ! Cheers. Quote Link to post

Now this is a complete guess, so please don’t quote me. Perhaps a field has been used for a slow growing crop, so for crop rotation the next year it’s planted with winter wheat. Ir a field had been planted with a fast growing crop, and again , for crop rotation, it’s then planted with spring wheat ? I don’t know mate, but I look forward to someone with more knowledge of the subject informing me ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post

Different crops take different nutrients out of the soil, so crop rotation is a must and we have to add different nutrients according to what we want to grow. It must be the same on farms , albeit on a macro scale ? So some years you will have winter wheat; other years you will have spring wheat. Id guess the harvest would be around the same time ?

Right or wrong ? I don’t know enough about it, but they couldn’t grow enough without it. I try to be as “organic” as possible, not because I’m some woke lunatic, it’s all economic to me; I make most of my own compost, I use home made garlic spray on my veg and use beer traps and copper tape for slugs. My poultry is fed on natural food and they have plenty room to forage. Three people I’ve given eggs to today have said they are far better than supermarket eggs. Today for my dinner I had pigeon breasts and vegetables, all shot or grown by me , probably why I’m such a fine specimen of a man well into my 70’s ! LOL ! Eat well…Live well !
