[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7563708, member: 44728"] Well, we will have to wait and see. I’m not religious about it yet, because I won’t truly know until harvest and I have both conventional and Zero-till on the farm at the moment to compare. I’ll also report all the good as well as the bad. All I’ll say at the moment is that I’m very impressed with 95% of the Zero-till crops. I think my best looking bit of wheat is Zero-tilled. I have one field of Winter Barley that looked bloody awful all Winter and was in two mind as to whether I replaced it. Decided to see what would happen and it now looks fantastic! Another field of it looks to me that it will be the highest yield we shall have. I’ve one area of wheat on our heaviest land that had storm Alex on it 5 days after drilling and 2 days after its full Pre-em that suffered badly all Winter. Patched a bit of Spring into the worst bits and now wish I hadn’t. Somebody told me not to look at it till the following May and they were right. I’ll stress that this is here and the same might not happen elsewhere. I’ll also state that I will be doing a small bit of ploughing this Autumn on that heaviest land that IMO isn’t quite ready to Zero-till yet and was buggered up by bad management on my behalf starting 2 years ago, especially on the BG front. Once I have rectified its problem, I’m fairly sure it will Zero-till the following year. If you are going to make it work, you have got to want to make it work first, or it won’t. [/QUOTE]
