[QUOTE="Jim Bullock, post: 1752426, member: 97"] This is not a drill argument... its a matter of your soils ability to drain away excess water and enable root growth (which in turn allows nutrient uptake). I have seen so many direct drilled crops (winter wheat and OSR) which have looked great for up to two months after drilling then come mid winter look awful, turning various shades of blue, purple and red due to poor rooting and waterlogging. If your drill and your soils can avoid this situation then you have nailed the system and should go to the top of the class..! Over the last 15 years I have had some spectacular successes direct drilling and equally I have some (fortunately fewer) equally spectacular failures. Unfortunately some of these failures have come in the last two to three years which is worrying having thought I knew what I was doing. Just don't get too complacent and be prepared to adapt to what nature (and the weather) throws at you. [/QUOTE]
