    Establishing Beet under Conservation Agriculture

    Now had 4 harvests since I started direct drilling (Simtech) cereal crops in a rotation which also includes OSR, Fodder Beet and Grass Leys. For the last 2 seasons I have become comfortable enough with the DD to leave the plough in the corner for the shed for everything except the beet. The...

    DD Newbie- Is Simtech a good machine to start off with?
