I have the small patch of winter peas that I have posted pictures of that I am allowing to grow and they are making a real thick cover now. I plan on letting them grow untill they bloom. I have seen a few post where some of you are rolling cover crops and planting into them. I am thinking that I can use my roller bedder plow for this with the buster plows removed or with a small plow that would just furrow the row middle. Do I need to spray a burndown before rolling and planting or after? I would have really liked to have tried corn planted into this but looks like it might be soybeans instead of the corn. Do the crops seem to emerge up through this heavy cover with only the slit cut by the notill coulter and the opening disks. Back several years ago I did try running some Yetter trash wheels planting into some heavy pea cover and they just plugged up. I think that year I ended up running a bushhog across that field to be able to plant it.
