[QUOTE="1wlimo, post: 837160, member: 16646"] If you dig a hole in your soil and know where the compaction is, and do soil sample to find out the nutrient status of your soil then you can make informed decisions on cultivation choice and fertiliser requiremnts. There is evidance to say that the N credit from ploughing in a sward can reduce the N required. I have farmed organically and ploughed in clover as the total N for veg crops. These required a higher level of N and this can work well. If your costs can be kept low then then the grain crop should pay for most of costs of restablishing your new pasture. It may be possiable just to work your existing pasture with a straight shank subsoiler and seed behind this, as in the "Keyline" system. I have not tried this method or seen it applied directly, however I hav seen very simular machines seeding canola into grain stubles in a one pass system very sucsessfuly. Zero till does not give you much if any N credit. [/QUOTE]
