[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7107712, member: 54866"] I do think the improvement in soil structure will pay in dry years but how often do we get a genuine dry season where crops get grief from it? Down here it is the other way around. I still think the stripper header is the answer myself, I don't see any point in cutting straw, thrashing it and using horsepower to chop the stuff if a drill can pass through it ok and it shelters the next crop up. I wonder how short a wheat crop could be whilst maintaining the optimum level of yield? Dwarf varieties of OSR have been around for some time, how about shorter wheat and barley which needs less PGR and produces less residue? The root mass from a cereal crop alone must leave some organic matter behind, along with the stubble. Has anyone got yield meter results that demonstrate an actual yield improvement from no-till over time? Maybe you guys in the drier parts of the UK or on lighter dirt? [/QUOTE]
