Definitely want to incorporate manure to preserve the nutrient value. I see mixed information as to the benefits of fall tillage. We did extensive fall tillage in the 1980's and it almost was a detriment as a lot of those winters were open and seemed to "freezer burn" the organic material in the soil reducing tilth and water holding capacity. Then it seems like we would have a prolonged wet spell in March or April followed by a very warm dry spell. The net result being the soil dried to large chunks on top from the chisel pattern yet too wet to work to keep the chunking from happening. Anymore the fields we fall tilled are done so that we know the possibility of spring chunking is minimal. The rest in the spring we find it works just as well to work in thin layers going progressively deeper each time. If dry enough have the cultipacker following along as you make each pass. I would love to fully utilize no-till and the price of drills are getting down to where a small operator such as myself could afford one.
