    Anyone run one? Any strong opinions either way? Like the look of the eco drill, potentially interested in finding a 2nd hand 6m, saw one at groundswell few yr ago, like the apparent simplicity of it. I’m a simple person. But…. Seed hopper on big wheels behind the coulters. I’m in...

    DD grass into grass- to roll or not to roll?

    I’ve had a stab at drilling grass into old burnt off pasture with an aitchison grasssfarmer, went half rate two ways on most of it, but would maybe have been better going full rate one way as the old turf fairly ripped up on the second pass and has made a bit of a mess. A roll would tidy it up...

    Broadcasting into a standing crop

    I see in America it’s not uncommon to put cover crops in via a plane into a standing crop. I think same could be done here via ag drones. For example 2 weeks before harvest to give it a nice head start. Would it work? Has anyone tried anything similar?
