Central Indiana | Here’s a few pictures of running the disc chisel today on some of our tighter ground. Was inline ripped last year and no operation this year was done when conditions would have promoted aggressive compaction. Field is tiled pretty well so not an underlying issue being poorly drained. Our blacker ground just solidifies back into a big chunk every year so we have to break it up with tillage. Cover crop isn’t ever going to solve the issue of naturally tight soils. No amount of root paths or earthworm tunnels will loosen this ground up so our option is tillage. I realize this doesn’t apply to everywhere. We see positive results running iron through our ground here

This is why tillage is necessary (here)
