[QUOTE="strawturner, post: 3389036, member: 3542"] Min till, Very simple you do the minimum amount of tillage to satisfy your own needs. Some people think this is one pass with a carrier/joker followed by drilling. Whilst others think this simply means not ploughing. Im personally flexible with the description, but find it quite frustrating when attending meetings that our industry doesn't have a better way of describing tillage methods. At a basis course once I was told there are 3 ways of working land, ploughing, min till, and direct drilling. It makes it hard for me anyway to make sensible comparisons because when walking land and being told it was min tilled I actually have no idea what that means, and have to ask more in depth questions about the methods used, great if the answers are there but a disaster if min till is the only answer I'm getting. Just to add, Optimum depth for fuel economy and plant performance is also very fluid depending on soil type and structure, and even method of cultivation. So its very hard to answer! [/QUOTE]
