Think the tillage practices over the years on our farm were more about increasing the surface area to dry it out and getting oxygen into the soil, than chasing the compaction boogeyman. My neighbor's best corn field this year was a muddy mess for sugar beet harvest two years ago with 80k+ pound trucks drug over nearly every square inch. That field has had nothing but a wavy-blade vertical till disk run over it since then. Where is the compaction exactly? Is it in the room with us now? Doesnt tell us a whole lot, just because it was his best corn. That might have been 180 bushels/acre. And 220 (or more) had he alleviated the compaction that most certainly was created. |
