[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 25210"] Thats essentially what my grandpa and all the farmers around where I grew up did 40 or so years ago. Of course in those days you didn't put down all those herbicides, etc. but rather just ran the cultivators until the crops got too tall. Around harvest time the corn, milo and even cotton land would be full of "field grasses" and we would turn the cattle in after harvesting. Seems like all the farmers also kept a herd of cattle and a milk cow or two. Then while the cattle cleaned up all those crop fields the normal pastures were growing stockpiled grass for the winter.
