[QUOTE="David_A, post: 6588652, member: 4767"] Not strictly strip till, but we sow our wheat after pots with a sumo trio. The aim being to break the compaction and level the field, ths sed being spread before the packer. Sometimes a quick pass for more levelling is required, especially this year. The aim is to leave the brock on the surface. We then try to no till subsequent crops with the jd 750a. The problem is that you end up with as much machinery as a plough based system. Our system has morphed over the years, so no particular machine was bought specifically for this task. The compaction from the tattie harvest goes down some 18 to 24 inches, how do we remove that. We aim to get the soil in as good a condition before the tatties with cover crops etc so it can better stand the punishment. Ultimately we may need to stop the tatties and veg, but that feels like a cop out. I think the options for many to get into no till or strip till should include sharing machinery with like minded neighbours. [/QUOTE]
