When I was cutting my fields three weeks ago I noticed that the grass had a head on it. Looks like I terminated it so lesson learned. Next year I will cut in May after the wheat has died and let it run until I plant in the fall. I did pull back some of the dried thatch and there was a lot of moisture underneath. Like you,I will probably broadcast and then fluff it up with the disk.
My brother knows some guys who spray, broadcast and then disk it with the gangs straight. They have had a lot of success with this approach. The same concept but with a little soil disturbance.
It’s all good. I think you’re definitely seeing the forest instead of getting hung up on individual trees as so many folks do. A disk and a bushhog are nothing more than tools. The most important thing is to be able to assess your situation and then apply the tool and method best suited to that unique scenario while still keeping in mind our long term goals of soil improvement. It's just like it says on the Undercover Farmers video....."It's not about the tools, it's about the understanding." You may make some mistakes along the way but you can’t be scared of failure if you want to discover something new. Being observant like you’re doing will greatly expand your hands on experience/knowledge over time. You just saw how to terminate a crop without spraying…. and it’s sure not a bad thing that our fields have a nice mulch mat on them over the next few weeks leading up to us planting. We’ll very likely have good soil moisture to plant into when you combine that mat with the fact the we terminated a lot of the vegetation and it’s not using water anymore. We’re more less banking the moisture we get over the next few weeks.
