Can't help with the planting question, though I walked soybeans for a farmer way back in the day that had a bunch of volunteer sunflowers from an earlier planting. He claimed the sunflower stubble was puncturing tractor tires. Might be something to check into. Possibly burning off the field...
Not a fan of snagging with a live scope. Used one once ice fishing and the fish still had to want to bite. Might as well use dynamite here. JMO.

Got my first picking of asparagus last night. I have two beds, one I burned off and one I didn't. Got the spears from the blackened bed, which makes sense that the soil warmed up quicker. Shouldn't be long for morels. I'm going out on a limb and predicting an early morel season this year. ;)
We took advantage of this while in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, taking mahi mahi in for them to prepare. They'd cook it two or three different ways each meal.
Farm Bureau Spokesman had an article stating ag ground is down 3.1%. Timber and pasture decreased 2.2%. Smallest decrease on pasture was in south central Iowa at 0.2%. Gee, wonder why that is? :)

I had to look closer at the picture as it reminded me of the clay tile trencher I spent a summer “in the box” behind it. That was hard earned money for a 10 year old.

I talked to a guy who pulled trees with a skidloader and he said his buddy had a tracked one, but since he didn't have a heated shed, he opted for tires on his skidloader. Said if mud gets in the track and freezes, big problem. Can anybody confirm or refute that?
I started seeing this in my area back in the 1990's. It wasn't large tracts bought and parceled, more along the lines of a 40 acre here an 80 acre parcel there getting sold off as rec ground. This happened all up and down the Cedar River. There used to be large groups of shotgun hunters who...
Skip's post reminds me of all the complaining about feral hogs down south. Everybody complains about them but try to get permission to hunt them for free. Maybe it is easier than I've heard.
Cutting and baling alfalfa removes a lot of nutrients from the field. I wouldn't suggest that you plant alfalfa and harvest it a couple of years without adding NPK (as soil tests indicate). You can probably do that, but you would be wearing out the soil.
Prevent weeds from going to seed and prevent woody invasive species. We round bale our waterways for livestock feed. I've seen where deep grass in a waterway forces the water to run alongside of it, cutting a ditch. That waterway probably needed some cat work.
