I've heard of it and know of one guy that had a White 100 or so HP with a 3 shank ripper of about 3'. Said he was going after Plow Pan. Recently somebody here or on a farm site said they had a field that stayed wet. Decided to rip it and it percolates normally now.....Ha think about what I just said I have a place that I bet floods because I haven't been there recently with my Hay King Pasture Renovator....not 3', only 10-12", but that might be enough. Will do it when I get my hay in and go over my hay patch while I'm at it aerating and cutting Bermuda runners.....to establish new plants and also putting in the fall nutrients.
Getting on with the story, was helping a new neighbor with a new water line. I decided to dig the hole for the post that will support the non-freezing faucet. It's right at the side of the building so had to hand do it with a post hole digger, scissor type.
Digging in brown clay was like digging in rocks. Land has been leased for grazing for at least 40 years I have lived here. Never saw steel on it of any kind....just hooves. Decided to pour water in the hole to help break things loose. Did so and the water just sat there in a puddle. Dug and dug, probably 8-10 inches, water still pooling, hard as rocks.
Then one jab with the digger and the ground was soft and the water disappeared. Poured more in and it disappeared. Huh! Hit it with the digger again and came up with a digger full of soft, moist dirt. More water and more disappearance.
For you that doubt the occurrence, it is real, big time.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
