[QUOTE="RiverHills, post: 1397512, member: 23963"] I think it can work but it's going to be a tough sell to a landowner. In our area with the weather we have, compaction would be an issue. how much I don't know yet, give me a few more years of test. Timing of corn or bean harvest can be a big factor as well. Sowing in late August early September praying for rain. But if you want the growth you need to get tonnage to make it worth it. You also have to stip graze it to get the most out of it. In the right situation it's a win win but it takes a lot of planning. Studies have shown that it can really improve your soil health and fertility but it takes YEARS. Trying to convince a row crop farmer would be hard. I'm not trying to tell you not to but do your homework. Have all your ducks in a row before asking. Starting off on a small scale might be best as well. Maybe a small rough field that's not super productive and should be in grass anyways. [/QUOTE]
