[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 5766076, member: 166"] The system has managed for the last few hundred years! No need to quote Dustbowls and declining soil organic matters to me ;) What would you say the main barriers are to switching to DD [USER=534]@Fred[/USER] ? [LIST] [*]Fear of failure [*]Reduced yields, particularly in the first few years [*]Slugs [*]Grass weeds like sterile brome [*]Lack of knowledge [*]Increased crop disease from surface residues like fusarium, sclerotinia [*]Timing is everything [*]Dependency on glyphosate [*]Spending your cultivation savings on cover crops [*]Poor soil structure and compaction [*]Harder to adopt on very heavy warp clays and light sands that have no natural structure [/LIST] [URL]https://www.ahdb.org.uk/no-till[/URL] [/QUOTE]
