[QUOTE="JoeHodgey, post: 8136429, member: 151227"] Hi, We’re farming clay loam, medium textured fenland in Lincolnshire, not bad land, some heavy holes. We’re a year or two into direct drilling with our mounted 3m GD. Growing cover crops and cutting back on inputs. Has anyone else found that in these really dry spring we keep getting problems with no till spring barley? What seems to happen is the top inch of soil bakes out like a patio slab in the dry. Seed chits but physically can’t get though the hard layer and actually U-turns back down. Establishment can be down to 50%. Establishment dramatically better where we have moved soil and cracked off that hard top. Anyone else experienced this? P.s I’m considering having a front mounted cross cutter disc and packer type machine made. For the option of very shallow cultivation, 20-30mm, to crack off said hard soil surface infront of the drill. [/QUOTE]
