RE: Preparing a plot
To risky of an area to burn. I think what we're planning on doing is take a brush mower of some sort and nocking everything down. Then take a disk or tiller and get everything tilled up and get the lime mixed in. Then I'll spray everything new that comes up. And I think we've decided to wait and plant the whole acre in the fall. That way the soil will be better prepared. We're planning on making it a legume plot. Lots of clovers and chicory and some brassica's. There are enough soybeans and corn here in Illinois, so we're gonna give them something else.
