Actually, the soil compression from logging is
probably overall more harmful than any petroleum

No way to test that hypothesis here...

Although minimizing compaction w/ low- and no-till is showing very good
results after a number of years of continuous practice.

Low- and no-till logging?

...farming...no trees here.

Works the same in logging. Soft spots logged in the winter when the
ground's frozen, high, sandy stuff with pine in the summer. When the
forest's really dense, an Iron Mule can't find a way to hit the ground for
the roots. The call it "low impact" logging.
