Wir moechten auf unserem Betrieb in diesem Jahr erstmalig Mais direkt in einen
abgestorbenen Senfbestand legen lassen; wer kann mir sagen, ob Maeuse die Saat
schaedigen koennen und ob diese gegebenfalls bekaempft werden muessen?

My quick translation:

We'd like to plant corn (maize) for the first time on our farm in a field that
contains a stand of mustard that didn't survive the winter.

Who can tell me if mice will likely be a problem, and if so, how we can best
deal with them?

If you don't know German, please reply directly to me (furcht@macc.wisc.edu) and
I'll forward your replies to Josef.
