A thread on another site got me thinking.. In order to beat the weeds from taking over soybeans, has anyone:
1) Tilled/disced in winter and frost seeded clover
2) mowed clover short (ish) before planting
3) No tilled beans into the clover plot?
Wondering if this would be a good option for weed control in soybeans?? Perhaps have a "built-in" green and grain plot come fall.
Also thinking how WGF Milo / sunflowers / cowpeas would do in this same scenario.. Maybe this option is better than soybeans as they'll shade out the clover quicker/eventually. Bonus you get the N use..
Potential issues:
- Not being able to disc in fertilizer for milo/sunflower area. Broadcast before rain should fix..
- Not being able to mow the clover after the beans are planted.
If an epic failure, I guess I could always disc it in the fall and establish the traditional clover/cereal/brassica plot.
On a no herbicide farm otherwise I would just disc/plant in June and torch with gly as weeds come up.
