[QUOTE="DrivingDig, post: 5415886, member: 12354"] Maybe depends where you are and what soil type you have? In the North and West in normal seasons pre-harvest use essential to be able to harvest crops in reasonable time. Also you seem to misunderstand that DD is part of conventional farming. For me Glyphosate loss would radically change my cultivations regime from min-till to ploughing because min-till relies on reliable seedbed weed control. Not a good prospect for my costs of production or soil health. Before long I suspect weeds like onion couch grass will return to give me no end of problem. Much of my heavy flint ground would become unviable for arable crops (unless prices in the mid 200s) and I would lose the ability to farm a larger more efficient area. Glyphosate has been around so long and so successfully it is easy to be blind as to its positive benefits. [/QUOTE]
