Is anyone actually continually no-tilling?

1t of beans takes up 1.18 m3; 1t of OSR takes 1.45 m3; and I think 1t of wheat takes either 1.38 or 1.28 m3. So yes basically.

Our beans are normally about 82kg/hl

I took those figures from the ABC book. Happened to find the right page the other day. Obviously sensitive to density of the kernel itself. Maybe this year with wheat having high hectolitre weights my numbers are off.

specific weight: this is one thing I learned working on Soil fertility is that volume is absolutely a deceiving measurement. Have a client which also grows cabbages. He called me and said: I was in the growing season questioning if you have all senses in recommending this stuff, which no one else does. The size of the cabbage was always the same in treated and non treated. Even at the day of harvest it was the same. So we filled the storage boxes and sure enough when we weighted them the boxes with the treated cabbages are much heavier.
Same was when a client harvested his 4th cutting on grass and hauled it to the drier to make cobs. He was amassed, even got a call from the operator, how many dried material he got out of the one load of grass. the ratio between fresh material, moisture is always measured, and the dried stuff was much better than it was in comparison to previous years and the region.
So, I always remember the saying of Lord Kelvin: "Only what we measure we can discus / matters."
