RE: Fall 2004 Rye Cover Crop - planted
Sean with that much fertilizer and it being urea you are going to have some awfully tall and course stemmed rye, you are going to have to plow it down before May, now your seasons are different than ours, I would plow it down here at the end of Mar or first of April, I dont think discing it will work with that much urea, although I dont know how big or heavty your disc is, ours is 36 ft and would be big enough, you might have to resort to moldboard plowing to turn it under, then disc and work it up for corn.. I dont know how much residual fert you will have, some no doubt, but will need to add a little for the corn and I trust it will be a Monsanto brand , hint.. Good luck and never ve afraid to try new things and be innovative with different crops and farming methods.. Ron
