Eastern NE KS | Well I witnessed what I said.
My boss was a pick your own vegetable farmer on about 10 acres. I always had a difficult time reconciling his soils and the general farm land crop fields where it was easy to see wet soils and the results of soil compaction in almost every soybean field. The results of compacting soils under heavy tillage with too much existing moisture. Your free water management is well considered and I'm sure the is annual challenge.
My boss's land bordered the Sheyenne River so it may not represent the bulk of the valley with possible recent alluvium at the surface. It was still heavy clay, very shiny under the thumb test and I could run a long ribbon of soil before it broke away. Yet, the soil aggregates as described above. | |
