[QUOTE="ajd132, post: 8161302, member: 4612"] Apart from spring barley, which is proving hit and miss sometimes and needs a re think rather than pure no till, our crops look no different to heavily cultivated nearby farms. in fact i have 45 ha that was ploughed after some poor beans (should never have been planted as over done on that farm but the land owner insisted he didn’t want any other break crops), in really good condiction, then pressed and levelled twice with a cultipress. The ploughed crops look more stressed and have been far more conductive to yellow rust. This has been seen in trials this year too interestingly. The other 30ha of wheat on that farm is after spring barley, it was zero tilled and looks a better crop. Will be interesting to see if there’s any difference in yield. The ploughed stuff actually has more Blackgrass in it, and it was ploughed pretty well (for this soil!) Quite pleased we did it really as its a re-assurance that we Are doing the right thing with the direct drilling. [/QUOTE]
