I won't use the word study, as it is only observational.  But when it is wet in the spring, I use a disc very sparingly, and If I do parts of a field with a disc, all summer I can see the drastic difference, and the line is not gradual, it is exactly where the disc ended.  But that may be a here thing too.  Best tool here is a plow, the only uncompactor I have.  Do a perfect job of plowing, and no other tool is required.



Plows, as in mold board plows, are obsolete around here. Theres a select few people that use them. I'm young enough (20) that i don't ever remember us plowing. I remember probably 10 or so years ago we got it out to tear up an alfalfa field. Neither plow has been out of the barn since. We have a no till drill now and just no till beans into the allfalfa VS tearing it up. Even the chisel plow hardly gets used since we strip till all the corn ground.
