[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6891479, member: 166"] There's a video on Claydon's Facebook page showing a Swedish farmer using a Claydon straw rake. I'm not sure what he was trying to achieve but it certainly broke the surface up. The wheat crop looked ok afterwards. [MEDIA=facebook]10218578225860167[/MEDIA] Hoeing beet between the rows always makes it look awful for a couple of days but within a couple of weeks the crop comes back stronger than ever. Perhaps it releases some more soil N? My only caveat is that disturbing the soil will trigger a flush of weed germination. If done at late tillering, potentially the crop could smother late weeds but I'd be careful on wide row spacing that will have exposed ground for longer. You will also break up any residual herbicide layer you've spent money laying down though if that was several months ago you won't be losing much. [/QUOTE]
