[QUOTE="Cowcorn, post: 7189512, member: 107020"] Well said Drillman !! I too have slurry and dung to spread on my stubbles and bales to gather . Also my two old ploughs and combi would hardly be the deposit on even the cheapest of direct drills . Also as the current system is delivering high yields over what is a modest acreage around 200 acres plus 20 of maize a switch to dd would need to show a serious decrease in costs or a big yield increase . As our current wheat average is over 4 ton acre cant really see how :scratchhead: Im starting to think that this current cover crop and dd craze is mainly for farmers who lack stock skills and are unable to maintain fertility and soil structure without farmyard manure and grass . . But whatever works for me may not work for everyone especially if the life has been flogged out of the land with big quadtracks and heavy iron under the previous best thing [/QUOTE]
