[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7518632, member: 166"] Ask again when he's harvested it and compare it against a locally direct drilled crop. Part of the dilemma with a DD system is any yield drop, which covers an awful lot of steel & fuel bills. Let's say that he has spent £20/acre more than a DD establishment system. Today, October feed barley is £156/t. 20/156 is a 0.13 t/acre yield response required to cover the extra passes. You have to be economically sustainable before you can be environmentally sustainable.
