Beginning to think about plowing under my pasture mix & rotating in something else. The red clover has become abundant after a major horse manure application last fall. Which, to me, is rather humorous. They refuse to buy hay with clover in it, but the manure of theirs that I applied last fall proves otherwise. Even showed them pictures of the field last year & this year & they say, nope..... couldn't have been us. Hahahaha!!! Yes, I did learn that the horse is far smarter than the horsey owner, so no need to lecture. :vD Anyway, I'm not quite set up for corn, so I don't think I want to go that route. If I did corn, there's nowhere to go with it nor do I have anything to feed it to. Thought about sweet corn. Don't really feel like picking two acres of it by hand. Thought about popcorn & don't have anything to put the end product in. Don't think the cannery is going to putz with something that small. If I get onto another 20 acres of the family farm by next Spring, that would be an option. Currently not counting my chickens.... So what do I follow a field of four grasses, alfalfa & clover with? Might be getting a combine. Can I do something like oats on oats to get by the autotoxicity or does corn do something to the soil to absorb that?
Thanks,
