I know she is a bit cold right now, but looks like it is supposed to warm up this week. I am hoping to disk in last years corn stalks this week so any corn or seed will have a few weeks to germinate or rot, as that feild will be beans this year. I plan on spreading chicken manure on last years bean ground and then disking in just before I can plant corn. Last years rye feild will be corn this year as well, I have a real thick layer of volunteer rye coming up and was planning on spraying with round up, covering the feild with chick and cow manure and discing in just before planting corn as well. I just am not sure if I will be wasting available nitrogen letting the rye thrive for a couple weeks. I was hoping to use it a green manure and to add humus to the light soil. Any thoughts on that?
