Planting our crops into mature green cover crops usually works really well... but this spring, we were rained out of the field so long that our cover crop died. Then a storm blew it down creating a tough, thick, tangled mat that was almost impossible to plant through.

With the help of other farmers, we finally found a solution that did NOT include plows, discs, hay balers, or matches. This is how it turned out...
