Sow brassica fodder crops by end of August

This valuable short term catch crop can be sown until the end of August. Stubble turnips and rape grow very quickly so from a planting then, you could be on grazing in the middle of November, providing excellent winter keep. The seed can be drilled into stubble, a good dose of slurry or FYM before planting will help this hungry crop.
