Continued from my question about a good pattern to plow my field, I have another about what to do before and after.
I have an old john deere farm machinery, operation snd maintenance book I'm referring to. It's dated the same year as my tractor, '37. With that being said, and times have changed, what would be the best way to prepare the field for plowing? It has a grass and alfalfa mix, mostly grass. It's maybe 2 feet tall tops.
Do I just plow it under? Do I disk it first to cut down on the trash getting lodged in the plow(it has coulters, and 2 14"s)? Could I just brush hog it first? Should I leave it all alone until spring as to save on soil erosion? Again, I'm in southern Wisconsin.
Also, posted is a pictorial layout of the way of the field I was going to use, keeping in mind all the help everyone gave me from my last post.
