    Front tank to trailer cultivator

    Looking at using a front mounted seed tank to blow seed to the back of a trailer cultivator (carrier). Has anyone done something like this before? The fact it’s trailed may cause some issues with the pivot point? Plan on using the same front tank with a combination drill and other stuff so would...

    SFI 24 no till payment

    Just wondering if there's any further information out yet as to what constitutes no till in the eyes of SFI? Is it a dts/mzuri/claydon direct into stubble? Or is it going to be lower disturbance tine or disc? Supposedly a claydon grain and fert meets the grant spec with the leading tine applying...

Not the end of the world but out of curiosity, when at the dealer I asked what they...

    Winter cover crops on heavy land... what a disaster

    I farm heavy silty clay with flints. No ditches, no land drains. Good strong wheat land, if unforgiving. I've been trying to grow cover crops on and off for the last 9 yrs. With one exception, they have all been disastrous. Summer cover crops in place of a spring crop, on the other hand, can...
