[QUOTE="martian, post: 2847380, member: 801"] Wheat just doesn't seem to like following grass under dd, here anyway. It seems other people don't have this problem, but it's always at least half an tonne an acre less than any other first wheats we grow. We don't like using insecticide, and anyway dursban is thankfully off the menu now, but wireworm has been a problem. Also, I suspect I'm being a bit laissez-faire about compaction...the contractors who harvest the grass have a fleet of small lorries etc which hurtle about willy-nilly taking their 2 or 3 cuts a year. If it's wet, you can imagine that this will squash the soil a bit, but IRG has a massive root system and we allow it to grow on a bit after the last cut, to open the soil up again rather than busting. This is fine in theory, but just doesn't yield results, or wheat. [/QUOTE]
