scotslad Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Unfortunately i haven't a clue but I'd possibly double check with which ever company supplies ur cover crops. I was asking a siimilar question about some crops and semingly reed canary grass recently can cause a problem with cattle, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 I hope not,we have thousands on our shoot as part of the gamecrop cover!I wouldn't worry;we planted some last season with no ill effects,and a few sheep got in amongst the cover crops.Sheep will die just to spite themselves anyhow(I've seen them run across a field to throw themselves in front of a vehicle) it would probably mean a dramatic rise in the sheep mortality rate for your landowner to notice!
