Tuesday I made the first pass discing my hayfield. Since I had worked the field up well last year before planting my oat, barely, and pea crop, I don't need to do much discing before planting my alfalfa and grass crop this Spring. One more pass should be enough.
I did one pass now to set back the weeds and grass that started to appear in the field this past week with the warmer weather. Also turning over the soil and burying the residual vegetation from last year crop will 'darken' the soil. I am counting on this to help warm up the ground quicker before I plant later. New alfalfa shoots can freeze.
