The short version
What Beck’s set out to test
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact tire pressure has on crop development, yield, and profitability.
What they found

Spreading the weight of the tractor over a larger tire footprint reduces both compaction and soil density. Beck's equipment is smaller, but Beck's believes the results could be more pronounced when using larger equipment.
