Using Ryegrass To Break Up Fragipan Soils

For this episode of the No-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Auction Time, we'll share a discussion between Ralph Upton Jr. of Springerton, Illinois and ag researcher John Pike. We’ll cover their exchange which delves into research Upton had done on his farm after a 1983 drought revealed that he had a plow pan layer about 6 inches deep in his soil profile that was preventing his crops from getting needed moisture.
