Yes it’s really a Shame our national research institute wouldnt put some resources into the above. I’m sure every member of oak park staff must be passing field after field of dust bowl on their daily commute at the minute. The lack of action is Pathetic. And there’s a couple of really good operators doing the alternative within a few miles of the place.:Thumbp2:
In a dry time DD is king, now if you figure out a way to reduce the need for Glypho and a good spray program for controlling grass weeds in Winter Barley, I am all ears.
All joking aside, interested in seeing how @Bog Man and @Ugo Schtiglitz go with winter barley. I'm just not brave enough yet.
Well maybe not all joking aside.
The traditional tillage farmer in all of us loves to see dust (it’s much better than the other traditional alternative) but there’s no way soil blowing around the place can be good and when the inevitable heavy rain does come there’s only one place those fine unstructured particles are heading.
We must be entering into a fairly unprecedented level of dryness at this stage though?
