The post in the implement forum regarding the jointers ("plow is dunn") reminded me of an article I read back in the mid 90s about one of the corn yield champions using mini-mold boards.
If I remember right the idea was to sorta' cross concepts with conventional plowing and no-till by working up a seedbed yet leaving the deeper root zone area untouched. It seems the main tool was a moldboard that was miniature and only went about 3 or 4 inches deep. I can't remember what if anything followed that pass prior to seeding.
Anyone else remember this or know anything about it?
