Circa 170ha arable, stony, medium clay loam soil , Crediton, Devon
“On our home farm we were establishing combinable crops conventionally in a three-pass system, using a plough and press followed by a tine harrow and then a tine drill. It was a system that produced a good result, but it was very time-consuming and used a lot of diesel. Ploughing alone was costing well over £50/ha.”
PLOUGHING ALONE WAS COSTING WELL OVER £50/HA.
