[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7016522, member: 63856"] A straight rye cover is usually sufficient, I've seen beet DD straight through the standing crop and then double rolled with cambridge rollers - first pass to lay it the way the drill went, and the second pass at 90° to "crimp" the stems the way the crimping rollers do, terminating the rye and providing even coverage of residue. Without complicating it much, the next year they used harrows on the first roller pass to shake some rye seed out, which then gave a bit of extra soil protection while the beet was being grazed. Averaged 33TDM/ha and eliminated the chemical spend, so quite a profitable crop - as C S Lewis said, you're never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream [/QUOTE]
