Default RE: Rotating Crops

Rob,
What is going to happen to the corn and stubble this year? Harvested mechanically, eaten off the stalk by deer, or turned under. If the corn remains in the field and is turned under, then you have not removed much N,P, or K. You could plant wheat then turn it under again in the spring as a green manure crop. Most commonly, soybean is rotated with corn. If this is a food plot, then disc, disc, and disc some more to break the stalks up and turn them under so they will start the decomposition process this fall when you are ready. Bushogging or flail mowers can help this process. You can follow corn with corn, it justtakes more N and watch your grass control. Good luck.
