Got a few paddocks coming out of winter bird food from my mid tier ending the turn of the year.

They are brashy shallow soils over limestone very draught prone.

Ive got a small cow herd (15 cows+ followers)

Would lucerne be an option to make into high protein silage for the cows. Just with thrse drier summers grass isnt as reliable. Im not geared up foe arable.

Uncle used to farm them reckon they did good wheat crops but stopped growing cereals in 2013. Ive got enoigh grass but could turn silage feilds over to grazing if this becomes a reliable forage source

Considering buying a new rotavator to suit a 70-95hp tractor for working down ploughing for transplants using a mangil checci transplanter. Was using a power harrow but got lemd pf an old howard (was a touch shagged) and thought it did a better job in 1 pass as an old roterra did in 3. I would also like to use the rotavator for working up grass for reseeds. Considered a stone burier but hp and budget maybe be limiting. Also got spme big stones and i thi k a rotavator would do a better job of walking over them rather than trying to chuck them over the rotor. Considering either Alpego, Kuhn and krm(belc). Im a youngish man and for the acres it eill do would like a good one to see me out as best as possible.

Thanks
