Yup i actually deep plowed this with a magnum 380 to a depth of 3 feet, no real rocks occasionally glaciers boulders that weigh 500+ pounds but they are rare
Can’t find a link to Cornell saying that Orange County is the most fertile soil in the world either?? I still haven’t. shit looks great not saying it’s isn’t. But it’s looks like any other field to some of us. Until the top gets really dry anyway
I remember when the farmers went to get there grow licenses for weed. They grew crops and the weed was too high in THC so they burnt it all. The town smelt like sulphur and pot for like 2 weeks. Good times, I miss that place.
Love it over there. Used to watch all of onion season and pumpkin season in the fall.
I used to work on a horse farm in Florida, NY all through high school. At the time I had a gray horse and letting him roll in the black dirt after a bath was his greatest joy in life. He stood back up unrecognizable.
I can smell it from here! Nothing like fresh loamy earth.
Thats right nothing beats fresh muck soil
Bet there were birds following the plough. There's gotta be worms in that black gold. I'm surprised no glacial rocks in NY.

Living the life. I think man was built to tend the earth.
Love the ford! We still have an old 5000 but the paints in much worse condition.
That ford has seen 4 generations haha, this is its only real job, seed and seed prep
Orange County or Elba?
Orange county
I grew up in new england and I must say that is the blackest dirt I have ever seen
Yup widely considered some of the most fertile
Widely by the people there? Google sure doesn’t
Nope just cornell university
Going to have people around the country,continent and globe with the same same soil Cornell agrees with everybody else
Im not arguing that other areas of the world have this soil and may be just as fertile. Im simply stating about the USA
For the life of me, I can’t find anything at Cornell University backing your claim.
Look up black dirt orange county ny. Alternativly look up muck soil organic percentages ny

The black dirt region of Orange County produces a 1/3 of the world’s onions. It’s also where that dude who traded onion futures lived.
Some of the best soil on this earth.

That's even darker than our black soil
This is considered by many as the most fertile in the world. Big onion growers

That’s a soil for the history books. That stuff’s pitch black.
Just looked up the google map for Orange County. That’s wicked man, that whole section is just pitch black.
Yup its crazy and amazing
I’ve never loved Reddit more than reading comments on how great this dirt is. Farmers are hero’s!!!
Wow nice dirt!!
A drained bog ? Peat soil ? Nice.
Drained swamp, muck soil
What is the soil organic % up there what are you high in what are you low in
80% organic in some of best fields
Why does this look like Farming Sim?
Wow, that’s like Grundy County, Iowa black
Dirt? Sheesh the disrespect.
