I have a question for the guys who have raised a field of corn or two. In the past I have plowed under an old hay field and planted corn. Some times I even baled off the first cutting then plowed and planted in the first week of June. After plowing I always got a nice yield from the plowed down sod. The weed pressure was always low, and with a trip or two of the cultivator very little. I would get some fall grasses, but we made nice silage. If I tried to pull this trick the second year it was a waste of time and money. Poor corn, and nothing but weeds. My question is has anyone tried to plow down sod in the fall and drill to rye or wheat, then hit it with round up or disk it under in the spring? Do you still get the big kick from the sod? How much pressure from weeds? Same as a spring plowing, or same as a second year crop?? Thanks in advance. Al

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
