It wasn't really a fair autumn upon which to base long term drilling decisions.
Unless that is the new normal, of course.
DD can be a very good system on the right land, most years. Ploughing based system is "probably" the best, even still, but time and diesel heavy, and expensive.
I have some November combi drilled 2nd wheat next to some October DD wheat, bit stronger land than the red stuff. Ours has looked well all winter and theirs was hard to discern. Ours is currently going backwards, theirs is improving by the day.
Combine day is the one that matters, will be interesting.
