Primary Tillage

SHATTER WHAT'S HIDING BELOW YOUR SOIL SURFACE

The best time for dealing with compaction is in the fall during your post harvest tillage. Breaking up hardpan and roughing up the surface will improve water and nutrient infiltration over the winter. Primary tillage tools, such as a disc ripper, not only shatter deep compaction but can also cut and mix heavy residue and leave the field level behind the tool.
