[QUOTE="KennyO, post: 6587296, member: 822"] Is anybody practicing strip tip in Scotland or Northern England successfully in a rotation with potatoes. Currently ploughing everything and drilling with a power harrow drill, except sometimes just deep cultivation after potatoes. I believe [USER=1419]@Colin[/USER] did have a claydon. Interested from a soil conservation point of view and mostly for time saving as I do most of the ploughing and drilling myself. Currently have a 6 or 7 year rotation. Something like pots, ww(or sb), wb, wosr, ww, sb. The biggest issue I can see is getting stone rows mixed back through soil profile without ploughing after potatoes. Would there be any benefit running a strip till drill and still ploughing before and after potatoes. Renting ground for potatoes and renting our store provide a good reliable income which is needed in years like this one. We also apply cattle dung 2 or 3 years out of every rotation and have a little grass for silage. Cropping approx 400ac of combinables. Thanks [/QUOTE]
