I am skeptical.
edit:
I don't think I sounded scornful enough.
The exhaust is maybe 3" (typically oriented straight up) and there is a 6" gap. That's 1.5 square feet of exposure to any cross wind at 360°. Maybe the peak of an exhaust pulse would leap the gap but the leading and trailing edges wouldn't.
The re-compressor would have to fight the internal skin friction of all that plumbing. Possibly helped by rerouting everything under the axle to vicinity of the drawbar and running a negative three inch gap to actually create a Coanda Effect.

Well do check out that farmer forum link where farmers are discussing doing and actually doing this.
I would say you want to bubble the exhaust through water 1st at the very least:
Any hydrocarbons should float up where they can be drawn off, then you slowly send the water down into the ground too..?
