chisel plow vs subsoiler

Subsoiling made all the difference in the world and without question increased growth and survival of our clover.Hardpans can be easily detected in food plots using a soil probe, which is a 2 – 4’ metal rod – sharpened on one end to penetrate the soil, and a handle on the other end to assist in pushing the probe through the soil. Doing so will not only help you grow successful food plots to enhance the wildlife value on your property, but will help you get the most out of your time, efforts, and money. When assessing hardpans with a soil probe, you should be able to determine the thickness of the hardpan.

In my travels as a wildlife consultant, I work on properties across the country and routinely see food plots where the manager has “planted by the book”, meaning they have properly amended the soil to ensure desired pH and adequate nutrients are available, prepared a smooth seed bed, and planted seed under ideal conditions, yet as the crop matures it becomes distressed or stunted.

Heard this sweet sound and jumped in the car to find it. Generally speaking, depth of hardpans vary with soil type and farming strategies but are often 4 -12” below the surface of the soil and are caused by the weight and pressure of tractors (and other equipment) on the soil and repeated disking/tillage over several years that loosens top soil. Ain't that the truth. During hot and droughty conditions, clovers were able to utilize this deeper soil moisture to survive.
