Looking ahead to next year a little bit I find myself torn as what to plant on our tillable ground. Right now it's in corn, about 18 acres, but the ground isn't the best and I'm afraid a poor year would barely break me even. I don't think this year will be an issue, but a dry year would definately put a hurtin' on this grounds yields. I like the thought of trying to put it in a program, but really the only thing I'd want to plant on it would be switchgrass and I'm not really sure I need the additional bedding areas. A monster clover field would be great, but no income........alfalfa would work well also, but each year the tillable ground surrounding it has row crops planted and getting in to cut it and bail would be an issue. Either I need to find a low cost deer attractant type of plant to grow, or I need to keep rotating the row crops and hope for good years. Anyone got any decent ideas, or thoughts besides an 18 acre lake?
