[QUOTE="Deutzdx3, post: 4458494, member: 71052"] One advantage of no till is the reduction in passes per field which equates to a huge saving in fuel. Reduction in tractor Hp but no significant impact so far on yield, that's my take on it, I was very sceptical when a friend went zerotill. Now I'm sold. On a business platform it's a no brainier. Less outlay for the same return. His reasons for going no till we're soil health and he runs his farm As a business and if it doesn't make money it doesn't exist. The average yield is 10t hectare for wheat this year which is good. General machinery costs for maintenance is down as there are a lot less pieces of machinery to maintain. He has started mole ploughing to help with drainage which has helped in many fields that were falling below average. In general it a good system. Not perfect but turning over loads of soil and leaching the goodness out of it can't be great either. If you think about it from a business perspective it just makes good business sense. [/QUOTE]
