Controlled Traffic Farming is seen by many of its adopters as a natural way to farm. By limiting the movement of heavy machinery to the same tramlines for each and every field operation, soil compaction is confined only to a small percentage of the farmed land. But a move to CTF brings with it operational issues, primarily focused on machine and track widths. From combine header widths and combine auger lengths, machines running on tracks versus wheels to RTK networks and wide-span tractors of the future, the list of equipment required for the 'ideal' controlled traffic farming setup can seem prohibitive. However, many farming operations are already seeing the benefits of moving to CTF with immediate rewards in lower machinery, running and inputs costs with the promise of improved soil structure and higher crop yields to come.
