We were expecting a plowpan when we first stared a few years ago but after several digs we have not been able to find one. I have come to the conclusion that this may be only on certain soil types.
As far as the biological life, we have noticed am increased population on earthworms since we started plowing. Think of it this way, just think of the tons and tons of food (corn fodder) we are plowing under to feed all of the microorganisms.
