1. A system for tilling compression marks in soil of a field caused by wheels of a planter, the system comprising: a planter; the planter having a frame, a first wheel and a plurality of row units; wherein the row units are configured to plant seeds in the soil of the field; a tilling attachment; the tilling attachment operably connected to the frame of the planter; the tilling attachment having a first roller assembly; the first roller assembly having an axle and at least one blade assembly connected to the axle; wherein the roller assembly is positioned between two adjacent row units of the planter; wherein the roller assembly is positioned behind the first wheel of the planter such that when the planter moves through the field, the first wheel creates a compression mark in the soil of the field and the first roller assembly rotates and the at least one blade assembly tills a compression mark formed by the first wheel; wherein alignment of the roller assembly behind the first wheel and between two adjacent row units allows for tilling of the compression mark formed by the first wheel while leaving areas of the field planted by the row units unaffected by the roller assembly.
