[QUOTE="Steevo, post: 6786567, member: 430"] Planted 30% of my winter wheat direct in October and only just managed to get that in without making a mess. Rest was planted in early/mid Nov by a contractor with plough and combi drill and looks a picture. Does resorting to the plough 16 years after selling mine bother me? Not in the slightest. I'm pleased to have a crop in the ground that looks well and I don't think the plough will have done any harm at all. It's a case of using the best tool available at the time. Will I use the plough again next year - very unlikely indeed. Why move 6" soil when you don't need to. Anyone who cultivated their fields this year just has wet boggy soup to play with. Very few neighbours around me have anything planted at all. Even the contractors who planted my fields said they couldn't have done what they were doing for me for themselves and nobody else was calling them up wanting them to do any work. Uncultivated stubbles that haven't had any more than the top 1" or so touched for 15 years made all the difference to being able to travel. [/QUOTE]
