[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1085788, member: 1715"] Good grass hay and corn grain are about the same cost here per # TDN. So it you can avoid the combining/hauling/drying/grinding/back hauling... there should be an advantage. I run a little more conventional and rotate crops: 1) Spray out run down pasture paddocks and no till in a warm season in June. Grid test and dig that fall 2) Minimum till and RR corn the next year. Custom combine for $32 @ and haul grain to feed mill dryer. The corn comes back in a supplement mix. Bale or graze stalks depending on the location. 3) Minimum till corn stubble and follow with under seeded oats. Some areas are not right for arctic winter grazing but I would like to try it in Nov/Dec with pairs. Any concerns with standing corn for pairs? [/QUOTE]
