Franklinton, LA
The soil must be very moist if you expect to get a reasonably accurate penetrometer reading. If the soil surface is fairly dry and the area from 6" down to 12" is moist, you would get the results you indicated. Please keep in mind that with todays big equipment, you can form a compaction zone below the subsoiled area. It may take a few years for this to be a problem but it will eventually be a problem.
