We are hosting a no-till day next week, Tuesday 25th March, starting at 10.30 for a cup of coffee, with Bill Crabtree giving a talk and answering questions for an hour or two, followed by a bit of a farm tour to look at some of our crops, all direct drilled with a 6m 750a.
I appreciate it's very last minute, but we only heard from Bill last week that he was going to be in the UK next week and thought it was worth organising a chance for us poms to hear this Australian legend talk. Although conditions in W Australia (where Bill has effectively persuaded 90% of farmers to convert to no-till techniques over the last thirty years) are obviously quite different from the UK, it is worth making the effort to hear him as he has extensive knowledge of no-till methods worldwide and the challenges that no-till farmers face.
This is a free event organised by BASE UK, open to non-members as well. PM me if interested and I'll send more details
