The all grain farmers in the eastern & southern areas of England do practice min-till now. The reason is low margins. The problem is because we have a wet climate, weed growth is bad and they have to use a lot of sprays for weeds and fungi. Also we have serious slug problems that live in the stubble. When they combine and plant again almost immediately, the slugs live off the new shoots of grain. The normal practice is to run big subsoil cultivators to beak up the wheel marks where the tramlines have been. Run through with heavy discs or tined cultivators to make a rough seedbed, then use a min-till drill. If I get back up country and see some in action, I'll take photos. David
