Hello-
I still currently use a tiller to install my food plots. I am curious about how to learn to recognize if I am getting hard pan from tillage, how often to do deep tillage and what options there are for this tillage. First I want to understand if its even needed.
I got on the web soil survey to look at my area in far NW Kentucky.
Its listed as a moderately well drained silt loam with 20-39 inches to the fragipan- which I'll not ever be going that deep because I doubt I have the equipment to do so. slopes are 2-6%.
I may be over thinking all of this, because my plots still grow, but I want to understand and learn what to look for and how to manage.
Thanks in advance.
