Have you considered crabgrass. Makes good hay and grazing. Probably can get the 30 acres planted for $6-700 in seed. Allow it to seed drop once the first summer and you can clean up any weeds with 2-4-d in the summer and grasses with round-up in the fall. Need good rainfall and it will out produce about anything and is way better quality than bermuda, just not as drought tolerant. Or mix a little of the expensive bermuda seed like cheyenne II in with the crabgrass and after a few years it will take over.
