Legally, yes you can, but in practice why not check with the farmer first? The ground is so wet this year that a few farmers round me have asked riders to stay out of their fields until things dry up.

You have the right of responsible access.
If this is a stubble field--definitely not undersown with grass, you can ride in it until the farmer ploughs it again and sows the next crop.
The info on MEAG web site is excellent
