Question by Johnathan: How much money every year is spent on cover crops in the UK?
Things such as kale, chicory or millet. Also are cover crops that popular on estates?
can’t believe some people don’t even know what cover crops are and you call yourself hunters!
thanks for the genuine answers though.

  2. Sounds like an agriculture question.
    Refer to UK Ministry of Kale, Chickory (and sometimes Millet depending on which party is the majority).
    If you are referring to crop circles, the amount of money spent on this would be in a currency more alien than the British Pound.

    The answer to your question remains undetermined.

    Nuff

  3. It depends on the acreage covered by cover crops. In my last syndicate we had 10 gun’s. We each put in £60 each for the cover crop. We planted Maize and sunflowers.

    For further research check out the BASC or Countryside Alliance.
