Hi All
After dropping the plough about 10 years ago and getting down to a pass with a trio then toptilth and rolls before drilling I have now just brought a Mzuri pro till 3t to cut down even more on the passes. Were on very variable land with up to 7 soil types in some fields that are no bigger than 30ac. We farm about 500ac of arable growing ww, wb, sb and wosr. We have 50 suckler cows so there is muck in the system and some straw going off to neibours as well as some temperary grass leys.
One thing we have learned over the last few years is that seedbed fert really helps on this land. Are others in strip till or direct drilling using fert at drilling and if so what are you using down the spout with rape and wheat/barley?
