I have a some stands of NWSG and pollinators that I planted last spring with nurse crop of brown top millet. I'm not in the CRP program, but used a CRP program mix. I have read on NRSC tech sheets that I should not disturb these this first full year, but I am thinking about what the best way to manage these areas will be once I do start-
I am in an area where I don't want to burn. I'm rural, but I have enough neighbors, that I am concerned that even a safe, approved and well controlled burn may cause some issues. Yes I could burn, but at the same time, I don't know that it's the best "geopolitical" move.
I have the equipment to bushog, but I am concerned about thatch buildup. How big of an issue is this with Turkey brooding/nesting being my primary goal?
This leaves discking as an option I guess, but I haven't done this before and am not sure how effective a 900lb 7' disc is going to be.
Curious how folks here are doing this kind of management.
Thanks in advance!
