I had a good crop of rye/wheat in my food plot behind the house. I let it get waist high and sprayed to kill it. When it was good and dead I took my cultipacker and rolled it down creating a thick mat over my soil. By creating the mat it has prevented the grass and weeds from growing. I've had the mat in place since late April and the entire month of May. I finally got a chance to no-till my soy beans in this morning with my little JD two row planter I had built.

I read and watched some videos about farmers no-till planting into thick mats of rye/wheat and had excellent results with weed/grass control.



"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.
Comes to us at midnight very clean.
It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.
It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
