Yes, it takes a while to catch on to organics although that is exactly the way my grandfather and father farmed for many years. Then, we got into chemical weed suppression, treated seed corn that could lay in the ground for a while and not rot, etc. Then, the third or fourth generation goes back in time and tries to use the new techniques for the old style of farming and, at least for corn, it just doesn't work. Our neighbors went organic and it took them years to realize that, up here in Siberia, they couldn't get away with planting corn on the 1st of May. Weeds got way ahead of the corn and they never did catch up. They learned to do it the way my father did in 1950. Get the oats and alfalfa in early (April) cool weather crops. Spread the last of the manure about the 20+ of May. Then, as fast as you can do it, moldboard plow, disc/drag, and plant corn starting on about the 25th or so. Warm enough then to germinate corn quickly and with lots of cultivation, weeds can be held back.
