[QUOTE="JAB, post: 5963048, member: 116016"] Getting spring soils to warm up in a timely manner is a big challenge, and frankly I don’t have a silver bullet answer until the breeders start making winter cereals with black straw (which they can do). Warm season crops with relatively short growing season is one idea, if it is feasible for you, where soil temps have to be warmer and you have to wait to plant. Mudding seed in with the proper drill and drill set-up can work as well. Chopping straw is necessary if your drill has hoe type openers, but causes way too much hair pinning if you have what I think is a true no-till drill with disc openers. Not sure which type of drill you use, and if this has been a problem for you. The problem with baling straw is that you are not only exporting nutrients that are usually more costly to replace, but you are exporting carbon that can’t be replaced. This messes up the carbon cycling of a good rotation, and makes soil organic matter gains tough to achieve. [/QUOTE]
