[QUOTE="Grass And Grain, post: 9277633, member: 23184"] Just interested. How deep do you think you need to cultivate in summer before the CC ajd? Just a couple of inches or like 6 inches? Suppose it would work either way? Would it? We went straight into a stubble in spring with discs about 1.5-2"on clay, left it to dry a day, then went through again about 3" deep. Drilled next day. Cracking crop of spring barley. Was a drought year, but retained moisture for the crop as undisturbed deeper down. Neighbour cultivates post harvest, cover crop, destroy in spring and DD. Works well for him. If they were to say you've to commit to DD for each of the 3 agreement years on same parcel, then this makes it tricky if you want to do a light cultivation, even for the diehard DD farmers. Better if they make it a bit more flexible, so you just make a claim if you've DD'd that season imho. Tricky. RPA will know about the ploughing rules on the label, and about rules for cultivating in manures. Then they look to introduce a DD incentive. Not sure what I think, seems as though it's one rule for some people but no rule for others. [/QUOTE]
