Hi Guys, I'm no drylander, that's fer darned sure, but I've been watchin' with a good deal of interest a feller up the road take an old alfalfa field outta production and switch it over to wheat (I assume). Anyway, the guy comes in there with a 14 or 15' disc very early on this spring around the 1st of April. The ground was just barely dry enough to be worked. He disced 'er once and it looks like he got about an 85% kill. I imagine he'll work it once or twice this summer and then drill to wheat this fall. Only downside I see is that he's losing a year's production off the land. Point being though, is that I would have thought that the old alfalfa would have to be plowed down; guess not. Is this the way you other drylanders do it? Allan
