[QUOTE="Jim Bullock, post: 632214, member: 97"] My father did the first direct-drilling on our farm in 1967, but the kit he tried was very slow (Howard Rotaseeder) so he reverted to min-till (with straw burnt) In the late seventies/early eighties we use to use a local contractor with a Bettinson disc drill or hire in a Gibbs tined drill. We reverted to ploughing after the straw burning ban as none of the drills available could deal with chopped straw. But we started direct-drilling again in 1997/8 when John Deere had some 750's available for hire.. and I had seen what they could do on a trip to the US... But after nearly 47 years experience we still don't get it right!! Back in 1967 my father said success or failure depended on the weather and it still does today. [/QUOTE]
