I pretty much finished with cover crop and corn around the 1st of November. Once fall gives way to winter, the ground stays wet and doesn't dry out enough to clean and I stay the hill off of it until spring dryout. Driving on it just makes what little plow layer we have thicker, and I do enough damage to my soil deer hunting and pushing field edges back over the winter. I've been no tilling for some 40 years and have very little plow pan, and the soil gets softer as the years go by. Plus, the covers can't work if you mess them up. I have little or no winter wind erosion, and the ground sucks in moisture all winter and dries quickly in the spring. I haven't had moldboard plows on in many years, and do very little with a disc or spike type harrow. Plus, I don't freeze on an open deck and now burn little diesel over the cold months other than to feed and clear snow. Gives me more time to control the deer population, too......

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
