[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1484269, member: 24947"] If you're just looking to feed cows I can't see doing anything except fall oats with maybe some clover. If you're trying to actually harvest a summer crop and feed what's left. ....boy idk. Sweet corn seed would be awful expensive to just go slinging it out. Dent corn wouldn't be worth harvesting by hand...for that matter neither would sweet corn. Cowpeas would work but I don't know they would be much good for winter grazing. Turnips are cheap, can be just slung out and I like them. So do cows especially after they get a freeze on them. Although you might consider 1/8 acre for a garden. And double crop the rest with Millet or haygrazer and oats in the fall. 3 acres won't feed many. But a field that size is good for creeping calves. I use a hot wire about 3'. If you have mechanical skills Usable grain drills can be found very cheap. Often near scrap prices. [/QUOTE]
