Shipman Area Today

I sampled some new ground today south of Shipman.  One field had been no-tilled for a number of years and the soils on the eroded hillsides were in better physical condition than I have ever seen such soils.  The other field was one of those where the crop had been destroyed because of low yields.  I know it was very spotty, but in some places there seemed to be a good bit of corn n the ground.  It would be interesting to see what affect the drought had on fertility, but since it is  new ground that is no way to know.
