Any self respecting farmer would blush. Fortunately my corn field is some distance from the road! Last year the field was so weed free that I was lulled into complacency this year. With so few weeds I thought I'd be safe planting some sorghum, which is not Round-Up ready, with the corn. Big mistake! I did spray the field with broad leaf herbicide but it only helped a little. There is a wonderful crop of wild sunflowers with a little corn here and there.
Perhaps the planting time made the difference. Last year it was so wet that I didn't get the corn planted until June 10, and this year I planted on May 1. Oh well, it will be great winter wildlife cover.
