I left a corn plot standing all year for food and cover. Its 1.5 acres and served well. In March, I brush hogged it down. In early April, I disc'd it all up. I disc'd again last week. The problem/question I have is with my John deere 2 row flex 71 planter....the remaining corn silage (after brush hog and 2 disc sessions over 2 months) was thick enough to prevent the planter disc's from penetrating properly. Over half of my seed was on top of the ground.
Last year was perfect. Grass field, killed vegetation, disc'd, planted perfectly.
Very new to this, so is there anything I can do differently to deal with or painlessly remove the old corn silage?
