Soil and Cover Cropping International

[SilliamWhale]

Anyone get their copy of it this week?

Its fast becoming a nice little no till/soil management magazine in its own right - thanks @farmideas for putting it together. I think the direction its going in (ie not just about machinery ideas) with some more ideas from cropping/grazing etc. from the fringes are a good invigoration for the magazine.

I think some of the agronomists at the Lewes branch of a large chemical suppliers ( the ones that keep telling me that ploughing is making a come back ) had an influence in one of the effigies. Local press thought it was Vladimir but rumour has it was actually you.
Don't let @martian know about it or it'll start the revolution in his part of the world.

The only worrying thing is that Simon wasn't deemed good looking enough to have his picture in the mag.

No! One of my kids shaved it all off with some clippers.

Thanks for the kind comment Will. I really started taking an interest in the soil topic about 2 years ago and thought how daft I was to have shown no interest in soil for all those 25 years when I had acres to look after. But somehow it never was really on any agenda, or at least that's my excuse. And of course it's complicated. I'm aiming to have a section of around 8 pages in each Practical Farm Ideas, maybe with three farms and stuff from USA and Europe. Of course my gratitude, and that of readers, must go to the people who so kindly spare the time to talk me through what they are doing, their successes, and tell me actions which have been less successful. This issue has a lot of info in it from the two farms, and I have more who have already said 'come along'. I don't want it to cut in too much on the Made it Myself, even when there's another log splitter... we've done so many any builder has got a dozen different designs for inspiration. Getting hold of a copy - not so difficult as you can go to the farmideas.co.uk website, or otherwise have a look in your rural newsagent (supermarkets and WHSmith are impossible - too much money up front) This issue will be on sale in them from Nov 10 or 11. Forget which.
