Headland management

[Retraceh]

After min tilling for a number of years and now into the first full year of strip tilling I was wondering how people improve yields on headlands which can significantly pull average field yields.

To be honest the first few years can be difficult espeically in a wet harvest.

After a few years it doesn't seem to be a problem as long as your a bit considerate (esp with grain trailers)

Go arse about face and drill headlands last. Firstly any straw issues are most likely to be on the headland and running over them tends to make drilling through a bit easier and of course you are not panning what is already drilled.

Drill and harvest a bigger headland so you can turn machinery around inside of the usual headland.
