I was hooked on leaving the stubble standing through the seeding process, hooked on minimal soil disturbance to retain soil moisture and hooked on the protection of those small plants from hot spring winds. However, doing this takes lots of sacrifices. Mechanical weed control has been severely curtailed. Mechanical incorporation of chemicals has gone out the window. You just can't go wham, change the whole farm over.
Every year is different.
New weed problems arise. Direct, minimal soil disturbance seeding looks great for seeding lentils. When we seed durum, we are looking at options such as using a bolt-on wing system which cuts through the soil somewhat like a noble blade, or just keep on seeding with knives. Anyways, I will try to give you an overview of what we try to do on our farm. Sometimes it works.
