Farm Soil Information

 |
 |
 |
| These soils are traditionally fall moldboard plowed and are high in silt and clay content with a pH above 7.5 |
 |
| Chisel plows are replacing moldboard plows. They reduce soil erosion, lower fuel costs and reduce time compared with moldboard plows. |
 |
| No-till practices are well adapted to corn and soybean crops in the region, but dry beans and sugarbeets do not adapt well to no-tillage. |
 |
| These soils rely on freezing and thawing over winter to break down larger chunks of soil resulting from plowing. |
