[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 7868311, member: 305"] The biggest issue is that it starves the worms baleing leaves enough straw to sustain some worms but with notill and return of straw there are many more worms on my heavy land the deepest burrowing worms go down 2 m deeper than any cultivation and after a few years of notill the worm casts are 4 inches or so apart compared to several feet on maxi tilled straw removed imho the biggest contribution to the failure of direct drilling in the 1980s was straw burning reducing the organic matter and worm starvation [/QUOTE]
