[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 6622164, member: 44728"] No, not at all. There are some areas where that system might suit, where as there are some that it isn’t the only solution. The plough system might not necessarily by a such high fixed cost system when the cost and finance of a new drill that works on a non ploughing system is taken into account. One thing I discovered both here and in Suffolk, was the only fixed cost saving between the two were time and a bit of fuel. Which were completely (far more so, in fact) outweighed by the extra herbicides (that didn’t work!). The ploughing system is pretty good at causing a major reduction in Blackgrass and a huge saving in herbicide variable costs. However, on other parts of the Country, it might be different. We all know what works best in our own situations. [/QUOTE]
