Farmhunter, any idea why the Brassicas didn't work for you? I would think New York would be ideal for "all green" plants.
Where I am in Fall, when I've had the farmer leave standing corn in the turn row, it's been hammered and gone before Thanksgiving, even though I do have good acorn and persimmon availability. It may just be that the field is very hidden and private so they spend more time there than other places. I will have the wheat, but not much available till mid-November.
Psandu, I'd be blunt too if I could score a nice 2 row planter on Ebay like you managed to do.
