Best we had was a result 4 days after sending... worst was about 10 days I think. That was using UPS. Later in the season they even abandoned the 24hr delivery option. 48hrs was all they could promise. Frustrating. This was to Novacrop. Omex only give results as a percentage of an unknown...

They look similar to the ones on the sly/horizon... maybe try George for some.

Everything is possible I think, however the rotation needs planned with certain goals in mind. So if couch is the problem then you might need to plant a succession of smothering crops to get on top of it, before planting your desired cash crop.

Has anyone tried grazing a pasture right down to the bare soil (or as far as you dare) followed by sowing a vigorous crop of rape or rye or anything that will out compete the grass as it grows back slowly. Thinking this might be worth a try in July when the grass is at its lowest growth rate of...

Not so much betwixt, but like the lack of soil movement of dd more than organic ploughing. Hence the current regen bit. Sort of stepping stone to organic really. We are seeing a reduction in weeds with no till. It is well known that less soil movement means less weeds in general, so ploughing to...

Fascinated with this. I am trying to work out organic no till also (we aren't organic and don't dd everything yet). So far my solutions seem to be based around getting thick cover crops to a crimpable stage at the correct time of year. Summer covers would allow this potentially but it's harder...

That makes sense. I didn't realise that you weren't in control of stock numbers completely. If it's costing you no input except time, then less pressure to stick to a rigid plan.

How many days rest will this get at the moment?

Ha thanks James, just bought a new one from them, seem good value compared to other brands. Less than many other brands are second hand.

Is this unit for sale Will?

Agree. I did say most precision ag. We do use vari rate lining, but that's all now.

Sums up most precision ag imo. Really only improves margins consistently for the service providers.

Let me dig around... there will be some

We set up our carrier with a front hopper to do this a few years ago. Sowed some winter oats with it this year as well as rye once gd eather closed in... works a treat. Crops emerging nicely. Does leave a lot of seed on surface, but we use untreated seed here. In the Autumn is works well as...

I did see a Kuhn/Rauch at Agritechnica last year, it was a 32m mounted boom machine, so they are still made, perhaps not imported into UK though.
