We should have had a dirt day last Monday, all the farmers have their fields worked down and planted and we had 60 mph winds all day and the whole district was bad. Several drivers took an additional 30 minutes, (normally a 1.5 hr route), to get back in. Lots of zero visibility instances. |

No till drill. Why do they allow the topsoil to blow away? |

Yields my friend, yields. If our farmers didn't plant the way they do you would be paying at least twice what you are now for your food. No til is good but some soil types don't respond as well. Anytime you disturb the soil it will blow around when it is dry. Heck, even when it's not disturbed it blows around. That doesn't mean you are "loosing" it. Have you ever farmed? |

Yes, there are various opinions on the subject. As there are for most things :) A lot of the younger farmers use no till, some of the old guys won't even consider it. Yield must be weighed against fuel,labor and equipment costs. No till yield is not half conventional planting. And I agree that no till is not an end all. We have some sandy soil regions near here and no till is a poor option. |

I agree, no til is the best option for most soils. Most of the farmers in our area are using it extensively. It comes out to be a little cheaper to do because of the fuel price. Although there are more chemicals involved and that could be an issue as well. You also have to keep in mind that with corn tilled soil warms up faster in the spring allowing the crop to be planted earlier. Well, this is not the place for this discussion but it is nice to know people are aware of what is going on around them. |

Looks like there are a few farmers on here besides me. We had a "mud" day once a few years ago. We have lots of gravel roads and one spring when the frost started coming out of the ground, our roads got so soft that the buses were sinking in a good 6 inches deep in some of the roads and the county made us call school on a friday in order to let the roads firm up. You wouldnt have thought that a few days off would make a difference but by monday they were much better. |
