What type of sorghum are you planting that grows 8 feet tall? Typical sorghum is less than 6 feet. Johnson grass (a type of sorghum) grows to 8 feet but is listed as a weed and invasive species as it can rapidly crowd out other plants and can also become noxious to ungulates when it dies.

What brassica are you putting in, cabbage, turnips?

I'll be planting a brassica/clover mix on one half and radish/oats on other half of all my plots. Then will over seed in mid august with winter rye on the  radish/oats half.... Southern Price Cty.

I'll be planting my brassica plots next weekend in Shawano County.  I was up 2 weeks ago spraying the plots with glyphosate in anticipation.  Also sprayed the corn and soybeans. 

SplitG2, i will be planting this weekend or next (Forest county), depends on if it has dried out some in the last two weeks as i have a little work to do on the plot before its ready to plant. Post a pic of the sorghum if you get a chance.

Heading up this weekend to plant my fall plots. Its a week earlier than I wanted to plant but have commitments for the following 2 weekends. I planted a sorghum screening on the edge of one plots about 4 weeks ago. Supposedly it should get 8' tall. Anxious to see how its growing.  Anyone else planting this weekend?

We did our main crop planting of rr corn and beans this past weekend.  Wet conditions delayed progress the previous weekend and made things slower this weekend as well.  Everything is in now.  I also sprayed all of the future brassica plots with the first round of glyphosate and mowed clover for the first time this year. 

Picture 1 is of my 2 buddies as 1 disks and the other is running the 4 row corn planter through. 

Picture 2 is on the ground of that same area.  It was a bean field last year and I found 3 sheds that morning going through and putting down 100# per acre of 19-19-19 that was disked in after that as a supplement to what the planter puts down. 

Never with a small ford . I rented a tractor and tiller and it did a great job on my sandy, dry marsh . It was land that was a cranberry bog a century ago  . All bumpy and canary grass . 

If you had time it would be better to spray the weeds first  , then till when dead . A disc would work for that . Plus a lot cheaper and much less upkeep  . 

Has anyone personally tried a rototiller on a ford 9n? I've read everything and still on the fence. I need to buy a disc or tiller ASAP I'd even buy a 4 foot if it would work decent. I understand it's to fast but some say in the right soil conditions it will work. It's a lot of money to spend I have sandy soil thoughts?? I will have about 3-4 acres total of food

Good luck with the frost seeding, should work well for you.  That is how we plant our clover, just use a prior year brassica patch and frost seed the following spring.  I'll be doing some of that this weekend when I am up shed hunting.

That stuff is all over certain ponds around me.  I never knew it was invasive.  All I know is that I cut down pockets for casting around some of the ponds and the stuff grows back ultra quickly.
