[QUOTE="dontknowanything, post: 586656, member: 38"] No trial is going to satisfy everyone, but saying that doing it on light land is pointless is just silly. Yes a 5yr (or 10 or 15) would be great, but putting off large farm decisions for so long is not plausible. After I visited CS I did a little calculation and found that I would need something like a 3% yield increase to pay for the drill and tractor. But if one then thinks that there will only be a benefit in tricky conditions, the numbers alter. Let's imagine that 25% of drilling is done in sub-optimal conditions, in that case I need a 12% yield increase. This now starts to get in to the realms of where we should be able to see differences of that magnitude. Personally I would like to have a trial after animals grazed covers into heavier type land, as this is where I see the potential benefit in lying. But that is not to say there is no value in testing it in normal conditions too, as a benefit here would be at least equally as important. Hmmm, is that rambly enough??? [/QUOTE]
