Fallowing with Sheep Boosts Crop Returns and Soil Health

Farmers recognise fallowing as valuable when combined with sheep grazing. Stubble can be grazed six to seven months after harvest, reducing straw waste and allowing ploughing without soil disruption. Old world practice leans on farmyard manure, but labor costs favor grazing straw as a no outlay alternative. If disease hits the crop such as flag smut or take all, burn stubble early, cultivate the land, and sow oats for feed.
