Liberty Link would be good to rotate with rr beans, as others say.

I don't know much about sandy soil - I have 5 acres of pure sand, the rest of my farm is a swamp with deep clay soils. So I am not much help.

Have you heard of Anderson Seeds near St. Peter? good local seed producer, good prices, their 4000 series of corn (I bought it back when it was 4000, now it's evolved to 4130 or some such...) is a really good standing top producer for me, I've put it against Mycrogen & Dekalb and they can't beat it on my land.

Pioneer is good corn, but likes to drop ears or lay flat in a wind. With our low lands, we only planted it once. Probably was top yeilder that year, but 1/4 of the ears were laying on the ground. never planted it again. In your sand, might work great.

How far north are you, looking at 105, 100, 95 day, or even less? Those 3 are the one's used around 'here'.
