[QUOTE="StrojanHerefords, post: 1832535, member: 42988"] I doubt there would be much improvement in soil organic matter. Even in the best conditions improving organic matter is a slow process. An acre of soil is about 2,000,000 pounds so even in the best situation a gain of a tenth of a percentage point a year. I am finding that ultimate issue that is limiting yields for me is a shallow soil profile. Water and air are the two most important nutrients. On the next block,I am planning to break up the hard pan around 20 to 24 inches, fertilize, plant a deep rooted cover crop this winter. And then in the fall come back with a summer dormant fescue this fall. [/QUOTE]
