Reading Time: < 1 minute
The Minnesota Corn Growers Association sponsored a Soil Compaction Field Day in conjunction with the University of Minnesota some time ago. The University’s Extension service recently created the below four videos from the field day:
Factors contributing to soil compaction
Soil structure: A natural defense against soil contraction
Managing vehicle traffic to reduce compaction
How to make your tires perform at their best
