During the 2012 monsoon, the new holland 7050 230hp struggled to get through the wet bits with the 6f kv semi mounted plough. We put the plough on the ford fw60 which ploughed through anything in the furrow and found it used no more deisel per acre than the nh at half the hp

how complicated it can get, to place some seed into the soil, and the money spent to achieve that.
l can remember spinning wheat in, with a vicon fert spreader, when it was to wet for the drill, and getting a good crop off it.
we have to get accurate seed rates now, to help pay for the drill, they are so expensive

I spin all my wheat in. However it’s not a last resort it’s planned so we have a nice seedbed made with nice rows made with a press on GPS then we put the spread the wheat at 12 metre centres with a 24 metre spreader then press in the opposite direction it works very well but it probably takes longer than drilling put i think the plant spacing in better than with a drill.

Dryland cropping? Which bit of the desert are you living in?

Have the owners of Tarrawingee Farms down sized, as I can’t see any thing about them on the internet?

Yes i was being pedantic. However when i was in Western Australia we would spin a sheep feed mix on just before it rained. I can’t remember what it was probably clover and such .

in an Australian context, “dryland” cropping simply refers to growing crops without irrigation
how you do that is up to you, but in our environment the only long term viable solution to that is zero till / direct drill, retained ground cover & conserving all possible soil moisture ( in other words, don’t waste all that soil moisture by digging the ground up
), the crop relying on rainfall & stored soil moisture.Just like most of the UK crop ( apart from the stored soil moisture, you cast nts are hopeless at that
)
