Soils, Syncopations, Solitude

You could eat off of that field.

This corn field is the poster-field for crop rotation, no-till, and Lumax herbicide. 5 years ago it was heavily infested with velvetleaf, pigweeds, and shattercane, which is not suprising given that parts of it had been in continuous corn for thirty years. Now there isn't a weed to be found more than twenty feet inside the perimeter.

Ah, velvetleaf, brings back memories. Albuteron Theofrasty is how I remember it. How far off am I?


(I'm proud of you-you're such a good little farmer)
