[QUOTE="Philip Hedeng, post: 4854656, member: 40228"] We've only drilled spring crops a couple of years using no-till, earlier we did shallow min-till. Varieties for malting barley are largely the same as yours. Irina has done well with both methods. In 2015 we had a very wet spring and only ran a Carrier twice before drilling with a Rapid. It looked aweful in some places but was a record crop of 8.800 kg/ha dried. 2016 we started trailing no-till without cover crops and we had the driest and hottest spring in memory. It still managed about 6.500 kg/ha, on some fairly light land. 2017 we no-tilled Irina following for the first time a cover crop and yielded 7.500 kg/ha. I thought it would do better, but a smaller field which hasn't had much love historically dragged it down a bit. It will be a test of the system to no-till this year after the exceptionally wet winter and some generally poor cover crops. I do think, looking back and comparing with others, that a disc coulter system has been better for spring crops generally. Might not be the case this year though. We always place fertilizer down with the seed, which is pretty much by default regardless of establishing method in Sweden. NPK and anything from 60 to 90 kg N unless you have manure in your rotation of course. [/QUOTE]
