I assume you mean a field that is just Sunn Hemp. If it was a mix wouldnt you be mowing the peas down? I have had a poor crop of soybeans the last few years and corn is so expensive, I had planned on planting 40 pounds of IC and 10 pounds of sunflowers per acre in my big fields (most are 5-8 acres). Should I use sunn hemp instead of sunflowers?

I was thinking the IC\Sunflowers so I would not have to mow it to keep the stalks under control so I could plant a cool season crop in them in the fall.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.
