[QUOTE="Flat 10, post: 8150027, member: 1880"] Oh dear. I feel for you. We too have BG on almost all of the farm and it's a constant battle. I have never done true low disturbance DD like you so am not well placed to offer advice as I think for a lot of people the Ultra LD type of establishment you are doing is supposed to be the answer. I do know however that Claydons found that they need to put more soil disturbance in their system with a straw rake and a terrastar and a hoe to help manage Bg which is more along the lines you are thinking. You were lucky IMO to manage BG under min till, especially without pre-ems, a lot of the Sumo, Vad farmers were forced to change tack as despite pre-em stacks as long as your arm their crops were inundated with BG. i think you need to be flexible and perhaps try some as you suggest, but my concern would be it will be sloppy on top in a wet autumn and you won't get it drilled.
