They are living in fear for the future of their business model. Lots of data showing no loss of yield from using less n combined with bio stimulants. Reduced fungicide and insecticide from reduced n and increased soil biology. N is a drug which means the plant needs a cure of another drug fungicide. Vicious circle. Lower disturbance also reduces need for herbicide. It’s no surprise that the soil becomes more healthy and robust and the beneficial organisms increase.

It’s why they are all launching soil health services and soil health mapping software. Personally I think it’s al pointless guff and a waste of money.

We have been moving gradually to reduced/no till but reading the article on page 91 of Direct Driller Issue 12 , and after watching the excellent Agrii Stow Longa Results Webinar I'm wondering if we're barking up the wrong tree .
6 years of trials have shown "the metal treatments show an average annual advantage of over £125/ ha over the roots ". This includes cultivation costs .
I know this might be seen as sacrilege in some quarters , but I'm not sure I can afford £50 an acre off my bottom line .
