These soils are difficult to cultivate, crop emergence is poor and yield are generally low. Cultivation and puddling by stock quickly breaks down the structure of these soils which makes them very prone to waterlogging, even more difficult to work and less productive. Gypsum can improve the structure of some of these soils and, in conju
