Too Much N2

Also, I have lots of weeds: My current plan:

1. Knock down and burn as many weeds as possible (already done that)
2. Spray pre-emergent herbicide (this week)
3. Have someone with BIG tractor plow under (about 1 foot depth)
4. 2 wks after herbicide, plant rye, which I'm told will remove the Nitrogen.
5. Water & Mow the rye when needed (I have PLENTY of well water and wellheads), and control the weeds

I will have my soil sample back from the county this week, so I will know how much nitrogen is there.

Any thoughts? Would love to plant sweetcorn, but I think the expense would outweigh any finacial gains, given my equipment capabilities. Corn planting here (NW South Dak.) is for about June 1, I'm told.

Equipment I have:

Belarus 250A tractor
Blade
Front End loader
post-hold digger
Future Farm Trac tiller (when I get around to ordering it)

I'm a "townie," so any advice is GREATLY appreciated... THANKS!

Rye or spring wheat but I sure wouldn't plow it yet. Disc the fire outta it, plant your grain crop and then plow it in the late summer or fall.

Let it lay over winter and smack 'er in the spring with a packer and you're good to go. The more "stubble" and straw you can plow under this fall, the better.
