I am still a fan of fall planting for this reason. The following years crop is very good, compared with a weed infested mess with springplanting. If you are a dry land guy, I would defer to Allan. My issue was we went 6 weeks without a drop of rain. That coupled with me wanting to go the cheap route and not rounduping the field prior to planting. (I had weedy wheat, that year.) Didn't bale some of the straw. I bushhogged a number of times but didn't get it enough so i have thin spots(where straw was thickest). In addition I only disked twice and that didn't kill the weeds. No rain, wheat(outof the back of the combine) and weeds I thought was going to ruin my planting. But 75% of my field is just fine, cow guy round baled the wheat/alfalfa on first cutting. Second was fine(other than I cut at wrong time and it got rained on). My thin spots(due to unbaled straw) is where I need to drill something in.... Depends where you are, I would start on this soon. In North Central indiana i planted mine on Aug 15.
