There is some bottom ground just out from my one barn. It has been in crops as long as I have been alive. Two years ago I happened to be walking along the planter when my son went by with the finisher. I heard the disk gang bang over something. I went and got a shovel and started to dig for whatever the finisher hit. I went down 4-5 inches and hit a rock. I dug around it until I was at 2-3 feet deep and still had not found an edge. I went and got the JD 6400 and loader. I dug around more and never did find the edge. It was a circle over ten feet around.
I filled the hole back up and went and got some dirt an made it at least 10-12 inches deep over the highest point of the rock.
Marked it with a flag to keep an eye on the corn there. The crop did not show any difference in height over the rock. Must just be that the dirt is so good and there is water under it as the creek is only 30-40 feet away.
