My dad grew up in easrern NE. Then we moved to WI. In Nebraska it was always so dry. Then came the center pivot Irrigation. Several wells that my relatives had out there for years have dried up, as they said the water level is going down, around 50 feet so far. In Wi it was a wetter climate, we moldboard plow all the time. I remember when no till corn came out the fine print said you only need to plow every 7 years. Well 25 years later some just chisle plow. I have seen corn stalks that are so hard 4 years later they havent rotted down yet. That is I we plow, it covers up the stalks and makes organic matter.
