where an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure, but it is also something that is easier
said than done. I know how hard it is for some
people to stay out of the field when 85% of the
field is ready, or when you have three days of
planting and only two days to get it done before
the next big rain hits.
One of the easiest ways to lessen the severity
of compaction is through choosing tires and by
properly inflating them. The rule of thumb is
the more rubber on the soil the better.
• Use a tire with the largest diameter and the
widest width, which will help carry the load
across a larger area of ground or footprint.
• Maintain proper tire pressure based on the
tire manufacture’s specifications based on the
axel load weight. Tractor tires can be as much
as 20 psi over inflated.
A round hard tire in the field distributes
much more of the weight in the center of the
track. Typically, the pressure exerted on the

soil will be about 2 psi higher than what the
tire inflation pressure is. A tire inflated to 25
psi will exert roughly 27 psi on the soil. A tire
inflated to 12 psi will exert about 14 psi on the
ground. The lower the tire inflation pressure,
the lower the soil contact pressure, and the
lower the potential for compaction.
Radial tires have a couple of advantages
over Bias Ply tires. Radials naturally have a
wider footprint, which allows them to spread
the weight across a larger area. Radials also are
designed to operate at lower inflation pressures,
which will increase the length of the footprint.
A properly-inflated Radial tire will better dis-
tribute the weight of the machine across the
whole tire surface in contact with the ground.
Bias Ply tend to concentrate the soil contact
pressure in the center of the tire. This not only
increases compaction, but also causes the tire
to sink more and takes more horsepower to get
the same work done. More tire area in contact
with soil with a Radial also means less slippage
which, in turn, leads to higher field speeds.
If you have more questions about what air
pressure your tires should be running at for
optimum efficiency, or need new tires and
would like to look at some different options,
talk to Jim at our Auto Truck and Tire Cen-
ter. We carry Michelin, Firestone, and Titan,
(formerly Goodyear) tires for all agricultural
applications.
When spring does roll around and the fields
start drying off, remember that you only get
one chance a year to do it right. Stay off the
wet fields – the compaction you cause will not
only hurt this year’s crop, but those for many
years to come.

As your equipment is being readied for the
field, now is a good time to check the air pres-
sure in your tractor and implement tires.
With all the snow and heavy rain we received
prior to freeze up, the fields may be wetter than
normal, at least at the surface. Even when the
fields look dry on the surface, there may still be
significant moisture as this moisture soaks in.
With today’s bigger tractors and equipment, it
is easier to work ground that is still marginally
wet. Not only is moist ground more prone to
compaction, but the heavier equipment sends
the compaction deeper.
Once a field has a compaction problem,
there are a few ways to help alleviate it:
• Our Minnesota winters help break up the
compaction. This may take several years to
remove the compaction from the soil. If the
compaction is deep enough, it may take much
longer. Studies at the U of MN Waseca showed
significant yield loss due to compaction in
the first three years after the compaction was
done.
The same study showed yield losses due to
compaction after three years during drought
and during flooding conditions although yields
were not significantly impacted during years
where rainfall was near normal. This would
indicate that compaction was still present to
some degree in the field even after three years
and maybe as long as ten years.
• Deep tillage seems to be a popular answer
also. The problem with tillage is that the con-
ditions for it to work are not always the best.
Wet subsoil conditions can cause smearing
instead of shattering of the hardpan. Also the
reduced width of the deep tillage equipment
means more time, more fuel, and unfortunately
more tire tracks across the field, which in
a worse-case scenario will mean even more
compaction.
• Increasing fertilizer rates will temporarily
help with compaction-induced nutrient defi-
ciencies. When plants are drawing nutrients
from a shallower root zone, increasing the con-
centration of nutrients in that zone will help the
plant produce a crop even under these adverse
rooting conditions. Increasing fertilizer rates
will not help with moisture induced stresses.
In droughty conditions, the roots’ inabil-
ity to access moisture under the hardpan will
severely limit the plants’ ability to produce a
crop. Poor internal drainage due to compaction
will leave soils saturated much longer than non
compacted soils and in extreme cases may lead
to ponding. This leads to a host of problems
including denitrification, decreased soil aera-
tion, and increased exposure to fungi and other
diseases.
The best answer is don’t compact the soils in
the first place. This may be one of those cases
