I have to agree with JMOR. I have always plowed a sod field in the fall, let it sit all winter allowing the freeze to kill the roots and rot the sod which was turned down in the fall plowing. Then in the spring after it has dried out disc it until you have a good seed bed. I always had a good seed bed in the spring to plant or seed whatever I wanted. As someone else suggested, seeding a cover crop this year and plow down the green manure and summer fallow it thru the summer help to build up your soil for next years planting. If you work the ground thru the summer will also keep the weeds under control. In my opinion, the mistake you made was tilling the ground after plowing which brought up the sod again instead of allowing it to rot buried underground. I'm not saying it was totally wrong but just made more problems and more work. Lots of good suggestions here, take your pick.. Dick

Wilmer and his brother Weldon owned the �Neff� farm. Th
