Best time to plow ground for canary grass
E. D. Molden of the University of Wisconsin urges plowing now while the ground is dry to seed canary grass. He notes dry weather allows work, seed beds are key for a good stand, and seed germination should be about 75 percent with proper harvesting. Hay yields were fine though not large this summer.
