After years and years of treating my soil to a good bit of natural compost it’s still a problem. My advice is to move to a small holding and raise Chickens. Crows don’t really like their little feet stuck in the muddy clay.x
Crow? aint they big black annoying birds?
hey Greenman, too much inter- breading down your way !
crowberry
You grow crows in crows-nests.
However, as it’s a typo, yes I’d agree, potatoes do well. Plus dig in seaweed, sand etc to help break up the soil.
The best crop to grow in a heavy clay soil is rice.
The black one?
Well when you’ve got four and twenty of them, put them in a pie …. luvverly ..
scary ones—–scarecrow
In India people grow Citus species, Cotton, Soyabean and lots of other crops like Groundnuts etc

this still looking for answers. I’ll forgo credit for the obvious.
Best crop to grow in clayey soil are— Paddy, Wheat, Barley,Cotton, & so many depending upon the weather conditions of area. Crops can be grown & not crow.
I think it should be best crop to grow in heavy clay soil. crow don’t grow in any soil
The best crop for clay soils? First, determine if you can add ammendments without going broke in time as well as money. Your soils are the hardest to work with. Add composted organic material (PEAT MOSS is good for the $$) and mix well to break up the soil and add nutrients as well as getting a good micropore to macropore relationship. Clay soil for a lot of reasons will be low in nitrogen so add some and be aware that a lot will be lost to the air for chemical reasons, so be generous. If you don’t have a lot of sand in your soil adding some will help but a better thing is perlite or vermiculite to lighten the soil. Lime and/ or cinders will help but be careful, you may want to test your soil pH first. Clay is hard on plant roots if heavy and can stay wet. Plant roots need oxygen like plant tops so the organics will help. The great thing about clay is the way it captures and dispenses nutrients and helps with moisture retention but too much is as you can see a problem.
Take time to mulch if drying conditions may be a problem, but mulches should always be used when possible for a huge number of reason.
CROP CHOICE? Unless you have ammendments, shy away from root crops unless you can deal with low yields. Grow anything you want, but crops that need well drained soils should be raised a bit and mulched and have organics worked in well. Add organics as often as you can and it gets better and better every year. Fertilize with higher Nitrogen. Treat your Mother (Earth) well and she will love you in return.

sorry, never a simple answer
Cotton, Peanuts, Canola flowers or sunflowers.
Is that where crows come from?
Potatoes. They will break up the soil, and the frost next year will break it down some more. Then just dig in plenty of compost, and some manure or fertiliser, and if it is really heavy clay, some sharp sand too. Get it friable, and grow away!
Potatoes as someone earlier said. Also in addition, plants which grow modified stems or roots like ginger, onion etc.

I know, I know. You wrote crow by mistake instead of crop.
Well, crows grow in eggs. However, crops such as cotton and soy beans do moderately well in clay soil.
