[QUOTE="cows r us, post: 7234155, member: 78044"] The last two autumn's have been terrible for heavy land around here. We have got very little winter crop in the ground. Some of what we have drilled rotted out. We are using no till on our ground. The difference between me and my neighbours is that I haven't spent anything until the drill goes in, they have fully cultivated. I can make a decent return from spring cropping using no till, I can't imagine they can. My land is mostly covered in a cover crop keeping the soil alive and sequesting carbon, they are losing nutrients and top soil. Two years of spring cropping will mean that we can get on top of our black grass. We are also getting our ditches and drainage sorted. It was neglected when cultivating. I think you can get away with poor drainage when moving soil. Not so much under no till. [/QUOTE]
