- In the Northeastern US, tillage is seldom possible
during the winter due to frozen or excessively wet soil conditions.
Yet, it may still be desirable to perform soil disturbance to improve
water infiltration, incorporate manure or take advantage of freeze-thaw
cycles. This research evaluates strategies for winter tillage, timed
to occur when there is a thin layer of frozen soil with dry, friable soil
underneath.
