[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 8123612, member: 33598"] Generally we will have a crop established with no more than 3 passes maximum (personally I would have just drilled into that as well but I have to keep the old boy happy who loves a bit of ploughing 🙄). Some ground we just go with a one pass cultivator then drill and maybe plough one in 3 years maybe. The cultivator doesn’t like a lot of trash so can’t go straight into a cover crop with it! It took some time to get the old boy away from working stubbles then another pass before the plough then powerharrow before the combi 🤦🏻♂️ So, on the grand scheme we now have a pretty efficient system in comparison 😂. I don’t care what anyone says, some ground doesn’t suit direct drilling! However chopping straw and cover crops are definitely improving it. [/QUOTE]
