Subject: RE: 100's and thousands have given up on Clay soil


When I sold seed years ago, a group of us went to an agronomy training day.
The instructors were discussing planter attachments. This was about the time that
Rawson was all the rage with two and three coulter systems. We were asking how the different configurations compared. One coulter, two, or three vs. residue wheels or possibly a combination of the two. When someone asked the question, what worked the best over a wide range of soils and conditions? An older farmer in the back said, just loud enough for those of us close to hear, " a field cultivator about 15 acres ahead of you". Everybody laughed, but thinking back at
some of my attempts over the past years I can't say he was that far off.
