I"m glad Jack mention the compaction of a horses hoof in the furrow is different than a tractors. The horses hoof only strikes every couple feet, not every inch as tractor tire does. Anyone that claims a horse compacts the soil worse than a tractor, especially a heavy tractor with singles on that"s slipping a little is dreaming. Pure nonsense. No way a horse compacts the soil MORE and no way a horse plow compacts the soil more. Utter nonsense.
We have heavy clay and I have to disagree with those who say clay is poor soil. It"s different than a sandy loam, far different. And clay DOES have topsoil, it doesn"t "wash away" as was said, except in barren fields resembling something from the dust bowl. Clay tends to be an active soil, although cool. You just have to study and pay attention to pick the best time to plow or fit the land. You"re at natures mercy, but if you do it right you can get great crops and grasslands. The way NOT to do it is to get out too early, slip and spin and slide all over, run over the ground repeatedly for no reason and not to let nature do it"s work. A good cold winter will fit your fields better than any tillage tool.
