I get that but I didn't see any other option. Most of the area that the tumble weeds was growing on, I plowed under before disking/dragging. You can also see a good stand of quack grass started so it went under the plow. I didn't like that option because that sandy clay gets extremely soft after plowing but that's what I felt like I had to do. So hopefully most of the new seeds are 6" under now.
I don't have enough experience with working that soil, I'm just an environmental project manager who gets to play with toys in the dirt once in awhile. I left the farm in 1992. But I'm learning as I go and hope to remember some of the things Dad talked about. Next year will be different.
I think the oats gets up faster then the Russian thistle and crowds it out or at least keeps it at bay. I remember seeing small weed plants about 6-10" tall but I didn't know what they were when I did fall plowing a couple years ago. Now looking back, they were tumble weeds that didn't get that big due to the oats on the field until mid-summer. I think the thistle starts to grow with a little more soil warmth so hopefully the oats gets going quicker. I'll know more this July when I cut most of the oats for hay. Anyways, I was satisfied with the field prep as I could be for what I started with.
