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?
"is compaction in the room with us now?" this comes from someone that says with absolute conviction and certainty that "phantom" loss can be quantified measured and proven. |
