[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1487043, member: 1715"] The business heads talk about the "centerpiece operation" that pays most of the bills. The others have a lower profit threshold (with reduced OH) and some free bees (like bale grazing manure). How this may work depends on your starting point. If you are starting from the point of a specialized no profit grain grower - - then trendy advise is to add cover crops and cattle. Wintering cows on corn stocks is not a new idea, but it is still a very tough sell. I think many would prefer to just wait for the new farm bill. If you are starting from the point of a forage based cattlemen - - then the trendy advise is to extend the grazing season and bale graze. Bale grazing is not a new idea either, but it can be an opportunity to start a long rotation. Bale grazing spikes K values, and there is one common grain crop that like lots of K and tolerates some N tied up in residue. [/QUOTE]
