Hi, Question for all you experienced direct drillers. Have you noticed your crops able to hold longer under dry conditions before showing signs of drought. I have read of how undisturbed soil will hold more moisture in spring but in practice do any of you notice much difference. On our gravelly ground retaining moisture is a big problem and the reason we started min tilling 12 years ago and then purchased a claydon 18 mths ago. Crops are beginning to wilt now after 36mm in May and 44mm in April (225mm year to date). Think back to your ploughing days for a comparison??
