Over here in SE MN in the hills if you cultivate the soil the depth you cultivate is on its way to the gulf at the first rain. NO ONE except a few organos cultivate anymore.

In the last four years with the rains we have had I think he has lost close to a foot of soil on the hills. Then there is the giant ragweed problem. This year his beans went 3 Bu under the 8 Ft tall weeds. Corn was not much better. He blames Bush for tying up his mexican weed pullers at the border, LOL.
