[mghley]

Looking to put a comprehensive SFI agreement together over 400 acres of mixed grass and arable. Mainly heavy ground. With possible grant to come this year on direct drills I’m looking at purchasing my own drill.
looking at Aitcheson or sim tech. What are your experiences or views on the options available.

The tyne drills do work well into grass, but found them dreadfully cumbersome to calibrate
