Disking Bulrushes

I don't know how much regrowth they have, (you night look it up) it could take applications of roundup or? to keep them down. Jim
 
(quoted from post at 19:16:53 09/30/17) Is that a seed box or a weight box on top of your implement? Not familiar with the machine.

Yes, most diskers here came with seed attachment. The Massey 360 was a very popular model and most people pulled a double hitch to cover 24 to 30 feet. It actually did a great job of seeding for the years I used it. Kill weeds and plant the seed in one operation. Harrow after it and you are done. You might have seen it in my youtube videos planting a crop in 1988.
Not sure but I think those bulrush patches might get a year of summerfallow. Depends on the year.

Your post is timely. I'm going out next week to do
the same thing here in central Saskatchewan. I was
wondering how well my Massey disker would do the
job at reclaiming my flooded hay land.

There are better machines out there for the job but the advantage of this disker is that it is here and it is paid for. You might have to make several trips over to break through the surface grass but I generally have more time than money to spend so I don't mind.
 
Sounds familiar. I don't own a breaking disc so this
will have to do the job. And time I have.

I actually cut and baled some of areas where the cat
tails weren't as thick but the grass was decent. With
the shortage of hay around it's needed. But wow
was that a dusty job!
 
Here in Ohio we would get tossed in Jail for mashing over cat tails and swamp grass..
 
cut about 3 foot path around the area to be rocovered, install fence posts, strong wire fence with good bottom wire wrapped in barbed wire, turn loose spring farrowed pigs with NO nose rings. have water tank in small field, toss some ear corn around and let mama natures weed/feed/ dig up ground crew go to work. When they're done, a pass with disk and seed winter wheat. Dorper Sheep, Boer goats will nibble down bullrushes also- and easier to handle than Longhorn cattle- but won't do the preliminary digging like 3/4 grown hogs. Old way of doing things not used much because so many fences down now. Dried cows and horses used to do winter graze of rough ground, wet grounds, hogs to clean up after wards, do field gleaning of corn stalks, bean stover-- Amish still do some of that. RN

Good grief! You are saying that we can't make improvements on land that has been in the family for over a century and taxes paid every year? Sounds like some oppressive regime is running things. We are free to disk and burn and try to grow a crop next year so we can pay more taxes.
I'm being a little sarcastic but really, I can't see how that would fly here. If I want to burn a slough, I just pick a day when the wind is right, make a fire guard and light a match.
 
Have you done drainage work or tiling to get water away from these areas if you get wet years again?

I had relatives farming near Cabri, SK and they mentioned working summerfallow with a disker. I had to ask what's a disker as where I grew up in North Dakota that implement was called a one way or the JD term Surflex Tiller.

No, tiling is not done here in Sask. as far as I know. Drainage has become a problem when it comes to digging ditches lately. The WSA says we need a permit for any kind of trenching.
Interesting you mention the JD surflex because I was using one today. My uncle's old 16 foot, early fifties model, pulled by the 730. Breaking up some grassy patches and old trails. It is one tough old machine.
