I know there's always a place for change, but sometimes, the old ways are the best. Things always look better when you're starting with a clean canvas. You are never going to be able to get rid of the plough. Great video Rob.
Why did they plough all those years, to get a better start for the next crop. I have seen more ploughs out this year , so that say it all . There will be a place for a plough no matter what new ideas they come up with, keep up the good work Rob .
Rob every field as its own requirements and only the farmer knows its needs for future cropping Believe we are only 66 % sufficient in food production so in future every one is going to want a farmer as there best friend. Hopefully returns for your efforts will be rewarded better in the future
Back in the 1970s, my father experimented in a 30-acre field. Half min-till and half ploughed. On Sunday nights, my grandparents would visit and come for tea. My grandfather would catch up on weekly farming operations. My father said to me, "Go and show your Grandad the min-till and plough comparison." (Winter Barley) We duly went and had a look. I said, "It looks good, doesn't it?" My Grandad was a man of few words and a great thinker looking at the comparison whilst puffing on the customary Manikin cigar and said, "The plough was around a long time before me, and it will still be around for a long time after your gone." All these years later, I consider he was right.
Great interesting video as usual Rob and like me you can't understand this country's food and farming policies we should be growing food on every inch of land possible. In years to come we will regret these stupid decisions we have the best farmers in the world this country should be supporting and backing them in every way possible not kicking them in the balls .
Why have you still got the narrow wheels on the sprayer tractor, surely normal wheels would reduce compaction. Ploughing was always my favourite job, gives great satisfaction.
Can I ask why the top link is not in the floating position on the plough? Just curious and do you think a bigger combine might be on the shopping list for next year?
I remember when I use to work for a agricultural contractor back near Skegness did a lot of ploughing on a track Marshall 155 the bloody plough was forever missing the press

Very true words said there Rob,
Hi Rob , you are right in your approach ,do the opposite of everyone else ,the soil needs air in it.
I think with the ergot problem this year a lot of ploughs all be coming out. Great video Rob.
We ploughed all the wheat land last year but still got ergot mainly in the fields with black grass , cant beat ploughing.
Great video thanks.
