We have been known to be called "large scale." Here as far as crops, we produce, cotton, soybeans, corn, wheat, etc.......... Alfalfa, clover, bermuda grass Orchard grass, etc........ What is the purpose of a sheet foot's roller in the construction industry? Why does an aerator do some what of the same? We are better off with our humus on top giving an environment for earthworms and building our topsoil due to years of plowing and erosion problems that sent our topsoils down the Mississippi River. Here you can push your shovel into the topsoil of a no-till field and the soil is moist, crumbly and life in the soil. Push the shovel into a field that is turned under, and it has the feel of clay and no earthworm passages. No earthworm passages = unhealthy soil. Earthworms live in humus, productive soil. I see the manufacturers of aerators, the dealers that sell them and those that paid out the wazoo defending the fact that they parted with their hard earned money to get one. In some areas, things are not done like they were hundreds of years ago. Here we call that change and (or) progress. Chuckie [/QUOTE]
