[QUOTE="Goldilocks, post: 7248012, member: 2216"] we have been establishing ( and sometimes failing ! ) crops into large amounts of chopped straw for years , including chopped winter barley and spring barley. Have tried lots of drills over the years but have struggled to find anything better than our tined Kockerling which can cope with any amount of straw. Some observations : Sly boss with row cleaners worked very well in chopped wheat straw but didnt try it in barley straw. Real problem with disc drills is hairpinning if drilling cereals or OSR into chopped cereal straw.Had real issues with this with a moore unidrill we had for a couple of years. We also tend to put some DAP on anything going in where there are large amounts of cereal residues. Our soil system seems to have adapted to the high C:N ratio residues now and it all dissapears very rapidly down worm burrows. (I reckon it takes about 4 or 5 years for the soil biology to really start to munch it all up easily ) [/QUOTE]
