Fighting thistles this fall in cornfields as advised by Iowa expert
M H Burns, weeds extension specialist at Iowa State College, recommends fall cutting of unmatured thistles in cornfields and weekly discing to control growth until ground freezes. He advises early plowing next spring and weekly cultivation until early July, then sowing a dense crop like sugar cane substitutes. He notes thistle patches in stubble pastures should have been plowed earlier due to early seed maturation.
