All right, if it's frost that's pushing rocks to the surface then why do I find rocks sitting on top of undisturbed grass? This is out in the middle of a pasture that hasn't been plowed in over ten years. (For 50 years before that it was a wheat field.)

I picked pickup truck loads of rocks out of this field right after it was last plowed. About ten loads out of a 15 acre pasture. Grass was planted and nothing else done to the field for ten years except mowing. No livestock. I find it hard to believe that frost pushes them up, but I don't have a better explaination other than my old neighbor's "the field just grows them!" All of the corner posts in this area used to be made out of rocks stacked in cages of field fence. Many are still standing.

I don't mind them so much now, except when I stub my toe on one! :-0
