Somethin to keep in mind is that it's a labor intensive harvest and the products aren't really what we'd want to market. You'd wait until the whole lot of them kind of dies down and harvest winter squash, dry beans, and flint corn then till the remainder back into the soil.

It's not bad for substinence farming, but you're not going to get the yields or reasonable market prices with those crops.
