[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7146287, member: 44728"] Several reasons all adding up to ploughing some of my land one more time (though I wouldn’t be afraid to do it again if needed): Levelling the fields and getting the headland furrows on the very edge of the fields. Level of Blackgrass requiring the seed to be buried. I’m more cautious about DD’ing Winter Barley as opposed to Wheat. Sorting out one or two Compaction problems. I’m very keen to go all DD and I favour the GD drill because it is the least most Soil surface disturbance drill I know of. However I don’t regard DD as a religion and will remain flexible to going back to the plough where and whenever I think it will work best when necesscary. I reckon I am saving at least £50/acre by DD or GD’ing. I also believe that ELMS will pay us at least another £50/acre to DD instead of ploughing. But we are not quite there yet! [/QUOTE]
