We travel this month to Ohio's old lake bed region. The branch is located on the Hoytville soil series, which is widespread in Ohio and important for crop production. The soil is rich, but it tends to have drainage and compaction problems. So projects here are looking at management methods that reduce or eliminate these problems. Corn, soybeans and wheat are the major crops under study.
Tillage is a special focus.
