[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 6917648, member: 166"] This was reported in Farmers Weekly a while ago too. I haven't heard the entire presentation to get a context from which it is easy to extract soundbites. I'm with Adam on this. There seems to be an assumption that no till soils will be anaerobic at some point, hence the NOx emissions. I've seen the clay soils at Loddington myself & can sympathise. However, this is not a general truth that applies to all soils in all cases. There are plenty of tilled soils that will be anaerobic from waterlogging as many will have seen last winter. What I did like about this research is the more holistic view with no agenda either way. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.gwct.org.uk/blogs/allerton-project-research-blog/2018/august/climate-change-research/[/URL] This book is well worth a read - it's not written by evangelical no tillers! [ATTACH type="full"]876084[/ATTACH] I recommend that anyone interested in different establishment systems also this paper by the soil scientist Dick Godwin at Harper Adams [URL="http://www.gwct.org.uk/media/841519/Potential-of-no-till-systems-for-arable-farming.pdf"]www.gwct.org.uk/media/841519/Potential-of-no-till-systems-for-arable-farming.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
