Tillage is the agricultural preparation of the soil by digging it up. Organic farming tends to require extensive tilling, as did most farming throughout history. Primary tillage loosens the soil and mixes in fertilizer and/or plant material, resulting in soil with a rough texture. Secondary tillage produces finer soil and sometimes shapes the rows. It can be done by a using various combinations of equipment: chisel plows, disks, field cultivators, plows, roller harrows, rippers, mulch finishers, rotary hoes, and row crop cultivators.

Tilling was first performed via human labor, sometimes involving slaves. Hoofed animals could also be used to till soil via trampling. The wooden plough was then invented. It could be pulled by mule, ox, elephant, water buffalo, or similar sturdy animal. The steel plough allowed farming in the American Midwest, where tough prairie grasses and rocks caused trouble.

Today, John Deere offers a variety of solutions for soil management such as chisel plows, disks, field cultivators, plows, roller harrows, rippers, mulch finishers, rotary hoes, and row crop cultivators. John Deere can help you improve your soil management system.
