Which is expensive and must be maintained throughout the growing season. It is not feasible.

Yeah, all that re-plowing during the growing season requires highly trained tractor drivers, going in and out and around all those hundred of thousands of crops while they're growing... LOL

You sure haven’t run out of rhetoric.

Says the guy who relies on "drama queen" namecalling! LOL - rebuttal's a bitch, ain't it? What a pain to find someone who actually dares to disagree with you!

That is why it is not feasible. In the clay soils of the Delta there is insufficient wetting, causing spotty germination and growth. The only way to alleviate this problem is to repeatedly disturb the soil so clay bonding is reduced.

This is why drip is best for small plots of garden vegetables in easy to manage beds, preferably raised. It can be used for corn in long rows if the soil is sufficiently sandy, but becomes a problem later in the growing season and even at germination if not.

I love disagreement almost as much as I love shared understanding.
