[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7531711, member: 44728"] My plough + Combi system used 8 times more diesel to establish a crop compared with my DD system. As regards CO2, this may be the case with regard the fuel used. Some will tell you that the CO2 I saved in the fuel usage “pales into insignificance” compared to the CO2 I didn’t release by not ploughing it. I’m not so sure. My thoughts are that by burying the previous crop’s stubble with a plough, its CO2 remained in the soil and wasn’t released to the atmospheres. Cutting to the chase, there is nobody who knows our land better than we individually do. There will be all sorts of people who will tell you how good or bad each system is. Listen to them by all means. But do not let them convince you that DD will work everywhere. We each have a gut feeling and it is almost certainly far more right than anybody else’s opinion. Do what you think is best for your farm, or even each part of your farm. NEVER, EVER be made to feel stupid or inferior by ANYBODY else’s opinion, who isn’t actually paying for what you do! [/QUOTE]
