Does any one have any suggestions. Pocket gophers have made it so I will need to put corn in the alfalfa ground. Just has gotten too rough, and the stand is thinning, and I want to get the hay feilds closer to home any way. 1st question is, any recommendation for a good hay mix for beef, will be on lighter ground. Planning on doing oats as a cover, cut and bale as forage at boot stage or.... If I can get some early mixture in some lighter soil ground that is is not ready yet for decent yeilding corn, I was planning on getting an annual grass mix of some sorts, and cut and bale early enough that I can get a high yeilding .3 or .5 soybean in after. Then let the oat cover crop mature and harvest as saleable small squares of straw and save the oats for creep and selling to horse spoilers. Would this work? Central mn. Or would I be better off getting the beans in early and hope for a wet late summer and get a quick growing mix hay seeded after the beans? Hay would be needed by late fall. Last few falls have been dry and cant see getting any decent germination /growth after soybeans. Any suggestions or advice. Just a trial this year, but eather way I need to establish a replacement for that alfalfa ground going to corn. Pleaee, no snide comments, asking for suggestions and advice. Re reading is a bit confusing. This would be (2) different feilds, one to be seeded in spring for an established few year hay feild, the other I want to some how get a double use off of to boost forage stocks, and also get some soybenas off as harvestable quality beans. Part of the reasoning is also as it is lighter ground and worked to death by previous operators I want a cover crop any way and would no till the soybeans in.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package.
