The Sands Of N IN
A trick that works really well here on crusty soils in IN is to set your planter seed openers really shallow, say maybe 3/4 inch deep, and run right over or beside the row. It's a pain taking the planter across the field again but does a much better job penetrating than a rotary hoe.
