Mit Balton, AgriculturaLltepresentative TO Plow • Or 'Not To 7Plavi? Part 31 Last week, we looked at why we Luse the moldboard plow. Now rd like to :discusssome alternatives, and the Situa- tions where they may fit in. -The intensity of =age :required depends pithizally anthe mil -texture, and to za lesser extent an previous soil inanagement and -cropping qaractices. A light, sandy soil :can temanaged with mo rnflBge without Lsecrilicing yieki; 'toattempt:fluisonsleavy *Twaddle r sty to -saythe least. As the .rjay con- tent of the sail increases, the porosity decreases and the sail strength and .suscentthility to .compaction increases. 'The plow is Jilutr to -remain the most cmnmon tillage implement on the -farm, and ona elay �i1 it is still the best choice. :On erodible mins, !however, the .converstional moldboard plow leaves the soiltoaexposedto mindandwater. 7or- innately, the plow can le modified- fair- ly .eatily to leave .some :residue on the suiface.
