Yes, I'm just reading her book For the love of soil which is absolutely brilliant. She explains everything so clearly. Definitely want to get her over another year...
It would be utterly fantastic to get the RCS team over from Aus at the same time. Maybe even do a full afternoon summary session of their "Grazing for profit" school, one thing i'd love to go and do in full.

the entire event is a meet up of TFF'ers that direct drill really :)

haha - from what I’ve seen UK is still about 30 years behind us & North America when it comes to “zero till”
The UK industry could still learn a lot from us . . .

when you leave ALL your straw & are fully CTF, then we can talk 🤣

We don't need to leave all our straw and CTF. It's a different humidity and different agroecology. And I say this as someone who has seen a fair bit of no till in USA, South America and Australia!
