Any suggestions, please?
Nothing fancy, just robust enough to cope with topping paddocks on the grazing platform, pre- and post-grazing.
Realistically, looking at 2nd hand...
TIA
Light ground here; sub soiler / power harrow combi outyields plough typically as.moisture the limiting factor. Need better weed control, though; plough negates a spray application.
That said, no till / direct drilled crops in USA amaze me. Not sure why no-one seems to be able to do it here?
Unfortunately you are not alone.
Two things that help;
- Accepting that it is their asset, and if they choose to manage it in a sub-optimal manner, that is their prerogative.
- Being independent, i.e. independent income, career, home, so that their choices do not directly impact you.
I am a big fan of good utilisation so agree with your approach.
I don't agree with "eat a third, trample a third, leave a third" here; land is too dear and we are not in a brittle environment to need it.
We started due to an obligation in our CS agreement.
Started with Westerwolds, then brassicas, this year 5+ year mixed.
Dry the ground out and add structure, helping get a crop in sooner, and retaining nutrients.
Would recommend trying a field.
