[QUOTE="alabama, post: 505723, member: 2218"] I would recomend Rye for the winter grazing crop as it grows better in cold weather. Wheat and ryegrass don't get going good untill spring. The farmer will need to burn down the winter crop in the spring with round up 2 to 3 weeks before planting. So that will hamper him planting early crops like corn but soy-beans and cotton could work. The cotton will not be off untill October or November so that will put you planting rye until November to December. Then you can graze in March, April and May. He will need to start working on the field in late may or early June for cotton. The farmer may also not want bull holes and ruff places in the field left by the cattle. My first thought is that this farmer is not going to like the idea, but you can talk with him and ask what he thinks. If you have to buy seed and fertelizer and chem as well as pay to have it put out I don't think you will get enough grazing and pay to move cattle twice. You wil just have calc it out. Please let us know how things turn out. [/QUOTE]
