Here's a few questions for the professional farmers: I have a 5 acre field behind the house that has been hay for the last 10 years. It is time to turn it over and it will be corn next year. The far end of the field is a little lower than the rest and typically stays a little wetter than the rest of the field in the spring making it hard to plow all at the same time. With it being so dry this year, I was thinking of plowing that end of the field this fall and leaving the majority of the field until next spring. The "correct" way to plow around here is to plow in the fall if you are planting hay in the spring and plow in the spring if you will be planting corn.I don't know the reason behind this, that's just the way it is. Anyway, question #1: If I plow the wet end of the field this fall, will it dry out quicker next spring? Question #2: Should I disc it this fall or wait until next spring? I am considering using roundup on the rest of the hay field this fall to kill everything and make my spring plowing easier.Question #3: What are your thoughts on using roundup on a hayfield that will be corn next year? Question #4: I have been told that I will loose the "green" fertilizer if I kill it all-what do you think about that? Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
