[QUOTE="1wlimo, post: 837525, member: 16646"] Stocker Steve the idea is to not get the soil into a bad state. Not sure how to do that,other than with high clay soil not graze it when it is wet. I think that you really need to know where the damage is before you can treat it. It it is jsut the top few inches that are compacted then there is no need to work to 10 or 18 inchs etc. I have been looking at the research and lots of it does not mention looking at the condition of the soil before it was treated. I there for do not see how they could come to a good conclusion one way or the other. It is possiable to seed clover by feeding it to cows and letting them spread it for you. Not really sure how you can increase the organic matter of a clay soil unless you add lots of manure, or crop it with legumes, canolla, and the use of green manures. [/QUOTE]
