SALES WITH SERVICE The Place To Buy Appliances NEW AND USED Hensalf 262=272$ Closed Mondays Are chisel piows soil savers? by Pat Lynch Sons amt( Crops ialist I have just read another article in the farm. press that is gung-ho on soil sayers. It rehashes a lot' of the old points, but my own feeling is that the chisel plow or soil saver may have a place. It isn't for everybody. The moldboard plow is still. going to be needed on most farms - particularly if you are sharp enough to get forages work- . ed into your rotation. Soil conservation involves many things. The chisel plow may be important for people with very erodable 1 and unstable soils.. Research generally favours the moldboard plow on clay soils. In my opinion, con- servation tillage on level clay soils includes the proper use of a moldboard plow. By this I mean shallow plowing, and leaving some trash showing. Chisel plows tend to get misused in the same manner as moldboard plows. People try to work too much soil. The Perth and Huron clay loans, through this area, have a top soil that is 4 to 8 inches 'deep. The conven- tional wisdom is that the depth of plowing should be one-half the furrow width. Big tractors and common furrow widths of 18 to 22 in- ches are a bad combination. You can't create 10 inches of topsoil if you only had 5 originally. That light col- oured soil that your plow turns up won't become true topsoil in your lifetime. It will dilute the good topsoil. It may make it more easily eroded. It will probably make your soil more suscep- tible to compaction and crusting. Sp why plow that deep? Similarly the chisel plow should not be set too deep. There is no documented, reason for chisel plowing deeper than 8 inches. The usual reasons for deep plowing areto bury the trash or to make a smoother job. The same thing happens with chisel plows and soil savers. Some fields get chiselled twice - 10 inches deep both times to make them look better. It is not un- common to see chisel plows or soil savers dropped ' in even 12 inches deep. The operator didn't like to see all those corn stalks sticking out of the finished job. The usual goal for good soil saving,is to leave at least 30 percent of the corn stalks on the surface. The rough field surface and trash help to hold snow and reduce wind and water erosion. We often hear of farmers work- ing the soil deep to get through that plow pan. I don't think these farmers know it, but we don't have a plow pan. Plow pans are associated with heavy soils. I have seen a plow pan but it was in . heavy soil in Michigan. I have never seen or heard of a true plow pan on Perth or Huron clay loam soils. A reasonable goal with a moldboard, plow is to leave 10 -15 percent of the trash on top. To get this result, you may have to remove the trash boards or skimmers and plow no more than 5-6 in- ches deep. New plows can be equipped with moldboards that do a good job at shallow working depths.

The theory behind such pieces of equipment as the Glencoe Soil Saver Is related to the foot or shank. It is twisted to resemble a miniature moldboard. This foot shears and lifts the soil. The area between the shanks is shat- tered by,:. the force of machine passing through the soil. When the soil is as wet as it is now, it's like trying to shatter soft butter, The soil saver and chisel plow are designed for dry soil condi- tions. Wet clay just smears making it harder for water to move through the soil. Wet clay soils can be more safely handled with a moldboard plow than a soil saver or chisel plow. Shallow plowing Power required to pull a plow is directly related to plowing depth and may in- crease dramatically when plowing up subsoil. Shallow plowing may let you pull another furrow or move faster without a change of tractors. Fuel consumption per acre will improve. If you do plow shallower and reduce load on your tractor, you will get other bonuses. Some studies show tractors will last longer and need less repairs. Everything from the engine to the tires will run better and last longer. If you plow faster you may find that the furrows are being thrown too far as they come off the moldboard. The plow share that cuts a couple of inches past the full furrow width will help. The uncut soil at the edge of the furrow will act as a hinge and prevent the furrow slice from being thrown too far. 0 The depth and speed of plowing are closely related to plow design and the shape of the moldboard. If you are buying a . new plow or rebuilding an old one, get your dealer to help you design your plow for better conservation tillage. Con- servation tillage done right is savings in both fuel and repair dollars as you im- prove your soil. The type of implements that you use is not as critical as the way you use them. Corn trials Dave Brock from Perth County has sent in the results of the first silage corn trials. The test was planted and harvested by the Gardiners on Highway No. 83. It was initiated by Pfizer and Pioneer. The top five hybrids in order of maturity, earliest . to latest were Pioneer 3925, Pioneer 3965A, Pioneer 3901, Trojan T950, Warwick W966. The exact ranking of these plus other hybrids in the test will be in the Soil and Crop Improve- ment Annual Report. We will have protein and dry matter yields as well. SILO GASES Silo gas can be fatal. It can kill just as quickly as a fall from a silo. Do not enter your silo for at least three weeks after filling. Always turn on theblower to proper- ly ventilate your silo before entering. If, for any reason, you have to enter the silo before the three week period is up, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus, and always use a life rope. Never enter a silo under these con- ditions without another per- son present. Remember, silo gas can be fatal. 153/a% `Financing! 1, 0n Hesston Tractors! nd any other new Hesston machine purchased at the 'same time! — Prime Program tt;24 mo. financing, -153/4% A.P.R.* 36 mo. financing 173/4% A.
