Fall Ploughing For Corn Land at Ottawa Experimental Farm
Tests at the Experimental Farm Ottawa advise ploughing fallow land into corn soil soon after hay removal. Weedy land should be worked after ploughing until late October then ploughed again and left rough for winter. The Dominion Field Husbandman 1927 notes this may not boost late fall yields but reduces weed control work. Second ploughing is best autumn for clay soil.
