How much a cube do you get for spreading with that system ?
That’s a bit like asking how much money is in his bank account

Realising that it is not such a bad thing that we haven't ploughed the spring barley land nor drilled the winter wheat yet.
First flush.
Ploughing a bit nobbly though as it is still rock hard after about 4 inches down.

They were saying today they've been doing 1000 cube a day.
Would be a long day though, not average.
Spray it off and it looks like DD land to me

Why would you make a lot of expensive work by ploughing that, I’ve always thought that the most difficult land is the most logical to put into notill.
After seeing the sort of soils Simon Chiles was making a success of it on twenty years ago, I was sure that if it could work on stuff like that, it could work anywhere!

I have tried no till and regen, ok only for 7 years, yields - even after a 3 year grass break, were only just over half of the conventional, Spring crops rarely grew at all.
We are a very dry part of the world and our soil Mg is 5 + (as high as soyl goes) and it turns into iron as it slumps together. Gypsum is not allowed in high enough volumes to do any good as we drain into a drinking water reservoir (who own that land too and it is a condition of tenancy that we don't add things that they don't approve.)
So periodic ploughing is the only option, usually every September but this year has just been too dry to use a plough until now.

Feeling like winter now. Cattle onto their winter/sacrifice field. See how this year goes after a positive first experience last year

do they have nurse tanks to? the only way i can get to higher figures. big fields with no stopping and constant supply. its the running back and forth for a load that slows it down.
