I don't suppose they're driving about with 8t harvesting rigs in the middle of winter. Or beet harvesters that weigh 40 tonnes, or spud harvesters working in mud in a wet autumn with ruts 10" deep. That said, some sort of controlled traffic gantry system could be useful.There are a lot of people growing roots and veg on a garden scale using no dig, regenerative methods. I often wonder if technology will one day enable those methods to be scaled up, to a commercial, field scale.
Salad and veg growers I see seem to leave 25% of wasted crop in the field. I don't know what else you can do but rotavate it, then plough it down to get a fresh start. Never say never to change, but seems to be the usual method.
