A 1/2 acre plot in the bottom is plowed and this summer I will disc it each time the vegetation comes up a few inches. This is an attempt to kill most of the weeds and prepare for crops next year. I don't know the last time this part of the property was planted but most likely it was a corn field 20 or more years ago.
I planted a few fruit trees in the newly plowed field. There is a nursery about 300 yards away and it is lower in elevation by 10 or more feet. They seem to be doing fine so I feel safe planting in this part of the flood plain.
