PG17: 360 BULLET: GAINING ACCESS TO SOIL NUTRIENTS

[@williamberghuis7944]

we are using RTK to plant right on top of are ripper knife and having very good results

[@robertpayne2717]

One of the problems I've seen is when tillage is is done at the wrong time of the year due to cropping season...I've seen that years ago when we did our ripping on summer/dry season the soil shatter was uniform to almost to the depth of the ripper shank both vertically and horizontally. Normally you can't get that effective during the wetter seasons. SIMILARLY TILLING AFTER WINTER WHEAT HARVEST WHEN THE GROUND IS USALLY THE DRIEST THAT THE GROUND WILL BE ALL YEAR. THAT IS WHEN YOU'LL BE DOING YOUR MOST EFFECTIVE SOIL SHATTERING. THEN YOU CAN USE A LIGHT TILLAGE TOOL TO PREP YOUR FOLLOWING CROP WHETHER WHEAT ON WHEAT OR CORN SOYBEANS OR COTTON THE FOLLOWING SPRING

What affects do you think herbicide has on microbes? And what do you use?

[@jacobbuehne7362]

Does the ground speed you run the ripper at make any difference?
