[QUOTE="ajd132, post: 7138687, member: 4612"] Mixed here but getting better at managing them and I think they are offering quite a lot now. Farmers are always looking for silver bullets, because we are used to being plonked a new solution infront of us in a can that last for a while. That is not happening anymore so we need to think about the whole system and everything that is going on, arable farming has been simplified to the point of a couple of bagged nutrients and some active ingredients but that method of farming is now dead. Unfortunately the trade have jumped on the bandwagon of cover crops/soil health. Selling ludicrously prices cover crop mixes with a load of bulls**t spiel around them. Also selling software suites with ‘soil health’ and complicated nutrient audits across the whole acerage which are just not needed and offer no value. whether you like it not this kind of stuffis here to stay so best put the effort in to researching away from trade magazines and visiting farmers who are doing all this stuff successfully on all soil types, they are out there.
