[QUOTE="dowcow, post: 6173540, member: 106876"] While I agree with all the rest, what do you mean by coarse? I try to make it as coarse as possible after power harrowing just enough to enable the drill to do its job correctly, and the drill man has complimented me on my soil, saying he really enjoys drilling my land because the soil is so nice to work with. I find if it goes any finer, it turns to porridge in a wet year. We don't use pre-em, and the only rows where I could justify to use pre-em are the ones with the drill tractors wheelings... So, I suspect if I rolled after drilling, I would be needing to use a pre-em... which would be the main reason people roll after drilling maize anyway? I had been wondering about rolling the maize in anyway, not for pre-em efficiancy but in the hope for a firmer field at harvest; but doing the bare minimum with the power harrows after cambridge rolling the ploughing was also my nod towards the harvest end of the year.
