Last Sunday was the first day back in the fields after the rainy spell. I used the field cultivator to peel off the top 4" of soil as it was too wet to go deeper as in using the soil saver. Did 85 acres and the depth was very consistent and the soil pulled up pretty fine. On Monday it got too hard for the field cultivator and the chisel was bringing up soil much too lumpy to let lay to dry. So we hooked up the offset disk and went to work on the tighter ground. Usually as long as your are making dust you are not creating compaction. The pass we make prior to planting will go down to any depth desired whether it has been previously tilled. That's the key on these soils is to work it in layers so as to avoid compaction and also to bring up fine soil. The neighbor always waits till the soil is dry enough to plow at regular depth and a year like this means waiting till the middle of June. He takes a big yield hit doing it like that.

I’m par
