Subject: Radishes in double crop soybeans


Martinsville, Ohio

Another wild idea, what do you think of throwing in 2 lbs of radishes with double crop soybeans?  I have a compacted field I think I will try them on.

Background, wheat drowned out in spots, very weedy in those spots and underneath the wheat, wooly field now, double crop with soybeans and radishes, burn down, make opinion when it's time to spray late summer.

I figure double crop soybeans are a potential cover crop anyhow but probably will get harvested at $13 per bushel.  The combine could cut the tops off , especially if they are burned off with late summer herbicide and I can't see anything but good.  Radishes might be sticking out of the ground at harvest but can't cut low enough for them to impact harvesting anyway.
