| How wet is the ground underneath? Not talking just below the surface but below where you are intending to chiesel. We've had about 5.5" here this month, more than we had all summer, and tiles are just barely trickling.
Seems like every year we end up with a little ground we have to work after the surface freezes. This year's no different as we have 50 ac of stalks to chiesel (disc ripper) that we have been waiting on the tileman. I won't argue that it doesn't cause damage but I will say that any damage done is less severe than if we wait till spring.
About the only no-tll you see in this area is beans after corn. Very,very little corn is no-tilled. Local family that had no-tilled or minimum tilled for years started working thier ground last fall. N.W. of us use to be quite a little bit of no-till but a lot of that ground has seen fall tillage on it in the last 5 years.
