Hi everyone,
I've been reading many tractor talk discussions on this portal and have learned a lot. I'm a new farmer and I want to amend and improve my soil structure and want to use BMR Sudan grass. I'm preparing to plant an orchard. I'm in Colorado, I have valmont/dunn soils with sandy, gravelly-clay loam. Former horse property. Since, I have small acreage without a large tractor, I was able to hire someone to disc the strip rows...leaving the native grass for tractor rows. However, I find the discing was more like breaking up sod and a little soil. I thought I would see more overturned soil. I'm not sure if I got what I paid for. I would love some advice.
I now have a Kubota B-Series tractor now I bought to use for "smaller jobs"
My strategy for the bmr sudangrass is sod busting and soil structure improvement with some green manure.
-sow in early summer
-late summer - at 3-4' chop back and let return
-early fall till under
-sow a different winter cover
-plant trees in Spring.[/list]
