How Does Keyline Plowing Work?

See a Yeomans' Keyline Plow in action! Learn about how it works and what makes this method of plowing special when paired with an understanding of Keyline Geometry and cover cropping. See what it looks like 2-3 months after 1 round of keyline plowing and cover crop seeding on barren, overgrazed land.
This has been one of our most powerful tools in Texas regenerative land stewardship. It helps us bring overgrazed, over tilled or simply rocky compacted ground back to life. It helps air and water get down into the soil creating a boom in healthy and helpful microbe populations. This leads to healthier plants, more biodiversity and more potential to grow food for humans without degrading the soil health.

    So is Keyline just a brand name? Is the goal just to break up the hard pan? Did you put grass seed after you used it? Also what time of year was this done? My grandpa has a pasture that has cattle on it for at least 40 years I am thinking about doing this in areas to run a test to see if it helps promote growth

    Keyline is the Yeoman's plow developed specifically for this purpose. Other subsoilers tend to turn the soil over more than this implement and thus cause more disturbance of the established microbiome in the soil.

    @@symbiosistx when I talked to my dad about it awhile back and he said the weeds meaning undesirable plant growth grew like crazy. I don’t know what the exact specifics of what was done there. Was there a time a year you did this also did you immediately spread your cover crop over it?
