Crop has emerged nice and even. Shame there was problems with the fert tank on the strip till machine- we couldn't place fert under the crop. When we tried it six years ago we felt it went hungry until the rain washed in the broadcast nitrogen. But this time we did catch a shower so hopefully will keep growing
It had Maize Accelerator with the drill.

The no till half is a more even compare the conventional side. No till came up a week slower but has caught up in the last week. Our first go at no till so surprised with the results.

This field is part of a Thames water sensitive water catchment field lab. Trialling no till vs conventional methods along side water courses, specifically phosphorus run off

Yes. Good conditions for harvesting the maize last autumn so made the job easier

Combined not foraged?
Lots of trash, but I'm sure it's doable.

A light discing would mix the trash with a small amount of soil and would help the drill? That worked the one time we have drilled after grain maize

Hi Charlie. Have McGregors just removed the leading tine on that drill? It's hard to see on that photo.

Hi @Brisel no I believe they used the front tine for all their sowing with the Claydon so far. Their trailed Hybrid Drill does have the shouldered cutting disc on the front.

Our no till trial under water, looking like minimal/no soil movement, river has travelled 40 metres in to the field. Still feels firm underneath considering we've had around 3/4 inches these last 5 days

@Brisel when were they sown? I am growing canyon for the first time and they look similar in that they have not closed the row in.

8th April. The other fields in this block were sown at the same time by Claydon - these look a bit more variable though the field in the photo is better ground. 100 kg/ha N applied as liquid pre emergence plus 23 kg available N from manure. 0.2 Moddus during tillering & 0.25 kg (half rate) Medax Max applied during late stem extension, so I'm not expecting much lodging. No fungicide so far but Proline + Comet due when ears are fully emerged.

This is another field in that block of Elyann. Claydon sown this time. Waist high in places despite 2 decent PGRs.
