[QUOTE="Kentucky Windage, post: 28181, member: 429"] You can irrigate your soil with tile drainage. However I highly doubt you would be able to, nor would you want to irrigate your soil via tile drainage to the point of topsoil saturation. You would drown out your crop. You see conventional tillage in the valley because we have heavy clay soils. This is practiced to manage crop residue. Black soil warms up faster, dries out quicker and allows a farmer to get into the field earlier in the spring. When you move outside of the valley, we have lighter soils that do not retain soil moisture like heavier clay soils do. So with conventional tillage, you are opening up the lighter soils, drying them out and increasing the chances for soil erosion. This is why you see minimum or no till practiced because annual precip is much lower. You are trying to keep as much moisture in the soil for the growing season. This is just my take. [/QUOTE]
