[QUOTE="Sprayer 1, post: 7569805, member: 4062"] Midlands Farmer, you are not alone. I have been DD for 6 years now, taking straw off and spreading muck on but the last two wet years over here in the west have been testing. This spring i have either had to cultivate wheel marks out , which i did not want to do, or drill deeper which sometimes ends up in poor crop emergence .As said , with straw this year at £135 ton it pays as much as the crop and with plenty of muck to go back, it is hard to chop it, so even though it seems like a backward step, i have been looking at strip tills this spring. If we were confident that wheat and barley would stay around the £200 mark and straw back down to £60 and the seasons go back to normal there would be no problem, but WHO KNOWS. [/QUOTE]
