The article advises keeping corn fields free of weeds to prevent stunting and land pollution. It recommends early, thorough cultivation on weeded land, then progressively shallower cultivations as corn grows, and suggests warm afternoon burrowing with a dull barrow. It notes some grain loss and a slightly higher seeding rate may help.
Harrowing grain crops when two to three inches high helps destroy annual weeds and loosens soil, boosting yield. Do multiple passes carefully, avoiding excess stubble, and note cross-barrowing for weedy fields. Blunt-toothed harrows minimize crop damage while removing weeds like mustard, subweed, and Russian thistle.
