    Tine drill - wide & slow?

    I'm currently looking at tine drill options as our strip till system is making our blackgrass problems worse - to the point that blackgrass levels are dictating cropping & cultivation policy. What I need is a tine drill that can cope with brashy stone, and be capable of sowing into unmoved...

    What is the most reliable establishment technique?

This year has been hard with the weather and even with my old fashioned style of plough, cultivate, drill, the spring corn isn't great. More intensive one pass onto plough with a combi could have got timeliness better this year...
