[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 8123135, member: 71668"] Err, with 30 odd years of zero till farming myself ( it is the default farming system here now, some people been doing it for 40 or more years, hardly anyone regularly does “conventional” tillage anymore ), growing a very wide range of crop species, I would have to say we don’t choose ANY crop varieties ( or species for that matter ) based on whether they are suited to “DD” or not . . . maybe our plant breeders have different priorities to yours, maybe our establishment techniques are better, I don’t know ? the only comment I will make, is that at times we will plant quite deep - “moisture seeking” - to get the seed down into moisture. In these situations, especially with wheat, then varieties with long coleoptiles are obviously better suited but as far as specific varieties either suited or not suited to “DD” in general ? Nah 🤷♂️ [/QUOTE]
