The hunt master allows to fall naturally for the first season. The second season he shreds several rows at a time, windrows then burns. He manages the crop to have fresh cut all season long. With the short 3rd split any sunflower/birdeye/brown top is cut and burned one week before. Last year the brown top that was cut and burned at the beginning of the 2nd came back up for the 3rd split headed with no freeze to kill it.
