Subject: Compaction help


WCWI
Never done much investigating or seemed to have issues with compaction except on a new farm i picked up last year. Has sandy nobs and loamy dips, in the lower spots corn dodnt do much because water sat, and when i combined it i could drive through standing water and only sink in 4 inches, only ran 115 bu/a.

I did some investigating today and I can jump on the shovel and only goes in about 5 inches (160lbs), top 10 in is a clay loam then goes to hard red clay i dug down 28 inches and there i can jump on the shovel and get it in 3 inches. How big of a problem do i have? I plan on putting cal sol down this spring it is going to beans this year can i make it to fall then inline rip it? Will it help or hurt to chisel plow it? Shooting for 40-45 bu beans located in WC WI.

Thanks in advance
