Sprayed off I guess, interesting viewpoint and one which I’m of a similar opinion, if it disturbs the soil, it’s min till, direct drilling for me is non disturbance, others would argue they are drilling into the stubble and it’s direct drilling, everyone seems to have a slightly different view and yes it was wet in comparison to the other event recently.

I always think direct drilling is direct into the stubble. No-tilling is non-disturbance.
Min-tilling is cultivation with a machine that doesn't drop a seed into the ground.

I am an odd cornishman though so wtfdik.
