[QUOTE="Simon C, post: 7233626, member: 319"] Drainage is the number one most important thing, if water is not draining away, forget doing no-till. Cultivations will hide a multitude of problems. Unless soil conditions are good, do not drill. If you put welly boots on when you can out of the house, it is too wet. You have to accept that yields won't always be top notch, remember you are trying to work with nature which is inherently more variable than a system where you are dictating how you want conditions to be. Savings on cultivation cost will not be enough to cover these reduced yields. It is the savings on input costs due to the enhanced soil health of a no-till environment that really start to push up profits. For example- no seed dressings, no p or K, no lime, no growth regs, no slug pellets, reduced nitrogen, reduced fungicides. [/QUOTE]
