[QUOTE="Drillman, post: 8481109, member: 403"] Yes it’s a bit like organic farming some folks think you just stop putting fert and sprays on. I do get the whole DD thing now, although I’m still not convinced it’s right for us. I think we could pretty much cut ploughing out at home if we had the right kit going forwards. We have been dabbling in non plough tillage with encouraging results, but as I explained on another thread a more suitable drill will be required going forwards to do it on a larger scale. As is we’ve just upgraded a tractor and bought a monster plough to pull behind it, I wouldn’t have done this If I were solely doing my own work but some contracting we do requires ploughing due to the way the farmer wants to farm. In that scenario I’m just the contractor and need to upgrade kit to do the Job to the standard that I and they are happy with. Further spending on soil engaging kit will now have to be put on the back burner while funds recover but from a timeliness point of view what I’ve bought will move us a step forwards which was part of the original aim.
