I don't know what part of the country you're from but if you have
hard winters, frost will help loosen soil. You might check with your
county extension and see what types of crops grow in your area
and soil. I've seen soybeans grow well on compacted headlands I
couldn't plow much more than three inches deep and mellow the
soil. I'm told buckwheat does the same thing. See if you can't put
some plants to work for you. I would not ever subsoil on my farm.
It's a sure fire way to find still working drain tiles you had no idea
were there.
