Cuz I ain't got a clue on that fix.

May have to go old school and send the guy who helps me around there to the field with a hoe. lol I am really a beginner at this and this is my second mess up this year. My bean/corn field to the south has way too much corn because I did not figure in sprouting from last years corn. I could turn it into a bean only field with some Clethodim but want corn in there. Maybe have to break out the back pack sprayer or the hoe. Sooo glad I do not farm for a living, I would be in real trouble.

I got volunteer corn in my corn too. Just gonna let it ride since it is just for wildlife after all even though not ideal. Got some in my sunflowers too probly just do same there. Deer are jumping on my shucks. Makes me so damn mad. Gonna try some stuff we been using in row crop ground this weekend to try and run em out for a bit.

Well my buddy sent me some pics. They don't look like you guys who know what they are doing.

This pic is looking south.The clean dirt is the part of the Sunflower field I bottom plowed after being pasture for 30 years. The first green is the south 1/2 of the Sunflower plot which was planted in Sunn Hemp last year, the higher green next is a 25 foot wide border of Sunn Hemp, Quail Haven soybeans and something called Teosinate and the foregound is my bean/corn fields.


View southwesterly of same thing


This is looking northerly. The 25 foot screen can be seen by the flowering buckwheat. Corn/beans to right. They got sprayed this week and will look better next time.


View easterly from the edge of the plot screen showing the bean/corn field.

Without a soil test what would you guys suggest on fertilizer for my Sunflower fields.I know ph is not great, which will be addressed next year. 1/2 the field is recently turned pasture the other 1/2 had Sunn Hemp and peas last year which should have produced a lot of nutrients

A 60-40-40 would be sufficient enough to make fair sunflowers given a ph above 5.5 and a little timely rain.

Thamks for the info. I am thinking adequate moisture will not be a problem

Well the Sunflowers are popping. These are from a week ago.




On the second photo the green area in the top right is where I planted Sun Hemp last year. They said it would not reseed in the South, they lied.It also apparently was not fazed by the pre-emerge.

Finally the bean/corn field doing well after its recent spray. Needs to get a little fertilizer on it.
