Not seen direct drilling do 20t/ac yet. Funnily enough the direct drilled crops that have out yielded or matched conventional always seem to be a story heard 3rd hand.

Now cue photos of people direct drilling on peat/very light soil which is a different ball game to most of us.

That said, no till / direct drilled crops in USA amaze me. Not sure why no-one seems to be able to do it here?
