[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 6450738, member: 51054"] The only question I have about organic farming, is how come it's not ok to use roundup (which with direct drilling means no ploughing and that entails oxidation of soil organic matter, which is not good), but fine to use lots of diesel to control weeds through multiple passes with a topper. I know all standards have to have red lines drawn somewhere, and those are the organic standards, but I also think we need to take a step back sometimes and look at the bigger picture, if I was arable I would certainly try direct drilling and cover cropping if possible.
