The blessing and the curse of fields being disked!

[Syrix]

As much as everyone no till drills in their crops in Central Missouri, it’s nice to have a field that they actually still disc up! But as the pictures show, the disc brings up points, but it also destroys points! So do you prefer a disced field or a non-disced crop field?

Anything that turns the soil is good. I’ve found plenty of broken pieces but at the same time I’ve also found some good ones to. I think when the disc hits them one half goes one direction and the other half goes the other cause I’ve never found the piece that’s missing.

Lol Syrix...your singing my song...the plowland hunters blues...I have many "heartbreakers" some that when intact were beautiful pieces. I agree with SH. I still like the fields being turned. The problem here is that its hard for the fields to get turned when theres 1-2" of rain every 10 days...nice grabs by the way looks like about half of my collection..lol

Very nice .. went by my site fire camp and the soil is like cement ... that black material is interesting

It makes one wonder what the Forrest floors looked like?during the woodland period. Ancient artifacts exposed everywhere? Did the woodland people have concepts of their 12,000 year occupation and it’s vastness? The greatest story of human history.

Without the plow, we wouldn’t find many artifacts in agricultural areas. I know a plow breaks some, but not nearly as many as it uncovers. Subsoilers break more pottery and turn over more burials than anything else. That’s what breaks my heart.

Give me a plowed field anyday of the week! It is hard on the ol feelings to find broke ones but if It weren't for the plow, I wouldn't be finding much of anything.

And a good hard rain 3 inches at least but any rain is good
