Are crops worse if soil is tightly bound together or compacted?

Absolutely! Soil should be loosened to a healthy depth for that crop, in most cases, at least 12 inches. It also helps to add organic matter such as composted animal manure and blend it in to that same depth. This will allow the crop roots to "explore" the maximum amount of soil possible in their search for nutrients.
