Is ploughing bad ?

[Cowabunga]

I remembered correctly. It is called a Quagga.

So it's 150 years since the last one anyone can mention off the top of their heads. Humans not doing so badly then.

If those fudging eejjits in Costa Rica hadn't been min-tilling all that rewilding habitat in for years it would never have happened.

No idea but i bet you dont get the climate we get off NE Coast & much lower temps etc etc & ploughing is just right for lots other reasons...
iam 50% plough & 50% heavy cultivation with stubbles now. But cert not a DD & would struggle too ever be so.

you couldnt get much further SW in the uk, totally diff climate down there to us i can assure you.

Yes. We are all waiting on news of your exciting book deal, actually. Have you thought about a TV show and maybe keeping some rare breed ponies?

I know.

I went to Finland last year mind, lots of no tillers there....

Anyway my point is people will do what they want to do. My own view is that if a seedbed is great after rape and beans why plough it all up.

This has been my thinking all along. Dry season? Check. Tramlines not 12 inches deep? Check. Minimal residue lying on surface? Check. Fine then, claydon the wheat in.

The Finns have been regulated into doing it havnt they ? or did i dream it ?

You dreamt it.

But we should all be regulated into doing it as it's a good idea and ploughmen should be castrated

I've asked for some examples in the last 50, or 100 years if its easier. Surely there should be dozens to choose from if you are correct. Yet all we have so far are some examples of Stone Age hunter/gatherers hunting something to extinction and a breed of Zebra some 150 years ago. Oh well, I really thought that the human-guilt protagonists would have done better than this.
