Yeomans Plow

The yeomans plow can help alleviate deep soil compaction

Many farms struggle with subsoil compaction, hard pans or soil compaction at 8-20 inches. Compaction at this depth prevents proper drainage, and causes water and nutrients to run horizontally in the soil rather than vertically.  This compaction prevents proper nutrient uptake by plants and creates problematic runoff situations. A Yeoman’s plow is fitted with specially designed shanks at adjustable lengths to target this subsoil compaction.
