Farmin' for marajuana??? Makes no sense unless he does it as a favor for the landowner to keep the place from becoming a jungle. I'd ask the farmer or the guy he rents it from....if he in fact does rent it. MIght just be a favor thingy.

That is probably true. I know we have a patch of land that is ussually turned into mud at another spot we hunt. The farmer always tells us that its because the soil gets so enriched with grass seed that it becomes an extra week of plowing to get it right befor the beans are planted.

If it's like most other farm ground it has probably had the stew farmed out of it. Sounds like he may be trying to incorporate some organic matter back into the soil profile. Carbon, an esential plant nutrient, takes a while to become plant available.....my prediction is he'll plant a cropnext spring, after some of the OM breaks down to a labile source of C. People out west let their field sit fallow (in grass) for this very reason, plus prevents salt build up from evapotranspiration. That or he's working for PETA. Sounds like the deer will be bedding in the woods your hunting instead of the grass field. Good luck.

Maybe he's paid by the Federal government to not raise a crop? It may be something like CRP that is required to be plowed under every year?
