Banvel or 2,4-D for the broadleaf weeds.

Are the grasses perennials or anuals?

I buy all our corn from healthy patch growers. They pull, hoe and mulch with straw. Best of all growing worlds here as the soil is fluffed to receive oxygen and mulched to prevent weeds, add humus and shade the roots. As soon as the corn is picked they till it all back in. They shred the straw so it applies easily and breaks down quickly.

This is a soil sustaining practice that builds soil quality even following a heavy feeder like corn.
