[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5024480, member: 2119"] Regarding ploughing in November, even here in the "dry" east it's too wet to plough this farm in November. 4th October has been last day for any cultivations for quite a few years now. If ploughing is left over winter it seems to slump so badly that it is wet and solid by spring time, with no mould left then it bakes hard. Hence ploughing, if it's done at all here gets left to a dry spell in late winter which is also pretty rare now. I remember many not quite so happy days in spring time bouncing a set of duck foots over plough ridges that you could strike matches on. It was a slow old job getting a seedbed before the power Harrow came along. Trying now to rebuild structure, OM, and reduce cultivations to the minimum or nothing but it's not easy with root crops and livestock and wet winters. [/QUOTE]
