Where do you get off calling his plow "cheep" (you spelled it wrong, not me). You have no idea what he has.

The reason you plow that deep for corn is that corn roots go many feet deep. In hard clay, like mine, you only have one chance to improve drainage when you are busting sod. You do that by sinking that plow as deep as it will go. With my setup I can sink my JD 3/14 in sod and make dirt really fly. Yeah, it makes the tractor snort and is a PITA when you hit a big rock but that's farming. While it looks impressive, in HIS case he is using different equipment and needs to use a different technique... but he is absolutely correct; he wants to go as deep as he possibly can.
