Thistle control plan proposed by Iowa expert
M H Burns of Iowa State College recommends cutting corn where maturing is scarce, plowing thistle patches, and keeping ground worked weekly until freeze. Next spring plow early and work weekly until July then sow a fast-growing crop like sugar cane, Sudan grass, millet or alfalfa to suppress regrowth. Thorough following year may whip thistles in a single season.

Windbreak Ground Preparation and Home Ration Trial
Farm windbreak ground should be fall plowed to full depth and left over winter before trees are set out. Fall planting with spring care is most successful, with spring planting preferred. A Polk County farmer compared a commercial feed to a home grown ration for 16 cows, yielding butterfat and lower costs with the home grown feed.
