Any Row Crop farmers....

Small Block, {trying to get that right this time} any way IMO if your not planting for money i wouldn't spend time or $$ on round up. if it a native grass pasture i would just disc it a couple of times maybe a month apart and plant your crop. no fertilizer for the first month. anyway weeds or grass {what ever is there} is going to grow back plus as you say it provides cover. If yur going for a show place then thats different by critters do care what it looks like so i try to keep it easy and natural. In other news, that is the best looking duster i have seen {your 72}. If i wasn't a recovering duster addict i would be trying to raise 10 grand. good luck farming.
