[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 5557132, member: 166"] Has this actually happened? I'm not asking if it has been done quietly by applying manures with available N to a crop with no autumn N permission from RB209 or something to kick start a cover crop but a written recommendation designed to satisfy a RPA inspector. You're asking a good question with this thread. IMO leaving as much straw standing would provide a slower release source of soil organism food. As I look toward spring oats as a break crop with less grass weed pressure & an alternative to or alternating with oilseed rape I'd like to bale less if I can get the residues through a tine drill. The thought of a big fibrous mat of decaying straw for late Sept sown wheat is not a pleasant one but there must be others doing this away from livestock areas? [USER=13022]@juke[/USER] - you grow lots of oats & run a Claydon. Do you bale the straw or chop it? Can you get it through the leading tines or are you increasingly swapping the tine for a disc as your soils improve & need loosening less? [/QUOTE]
