I am in SW Ohio, Warren co to be a bit more exact. I have a field that was always a problem with excess moisture. At one time or another, we have had just about everything imaginable stuck in there. It would be just like crap down to the plow sole layer, about 8 or 10 inches. One year it was very dry when we were combining and I got the wise idea to subsoil it quite severely, every 6 feet and as deep as a 100 hp Farmall could pull. Now, when you get stuck, there is no benefit of the hard pan, it goes, instantly, down about knee deep. This 23 acre field has been pretty much useless since. I have collected insurance off it several times. We now have it in a hay crop and it is usually dry enough by mid summer to cut, but hay doesn't really like that much moisture, either. So, be careful with that vertical tillage, it can bite! Several of my neighbors have had similar experiences. This is Clermont type soil, tight clay, low organic matter and a rock shelf underneath. No til is definitely working on this farm. Crops are much more uniform and you can get through the field. You may get stuck on the lane, but the fields are firm. My conventional tillage neighbors have combine tracks a foot deep all over their fields.
