[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7860101, member: 86168"] we have found subsoiling gives us a massive advantage, we pan very easily, not helped by modern machinery, behind the maize trailers, digging a hole, in the wheel marks, you could see the compaction layer beginning, on floatation tyres, not super singles, that field was s/s both ways, spring 19, and again partly, 20. There are disadvantages, do we just create a deeper pan, for example, it's an extra job, and always the risk of catching pipes, or drains. If we don't, the top 6/8 ins of soil, can turn into a concrete block, with AMG the prevalent grass. Surface pans are caused by heavy rain, onto finely worked reseeds, l have seen a ley fail to 'take', due to that, and poaching by several hundred cows hooves, why we cannot out winter on grass. The other side of the coin, we have good, deep fertile soil, with plenty of topsoil, it just needs to be treated with care. Chicory, and other deep rooted herbs, could help considerably, next spring, will answer that, with the assistance of a spade. [/QUOTE]
