SC Wisconsin | So I only run about 50 acres as of now. Almost impossible to find land to rent so I'm trying to maximize my return on my few acres for now. I have 180ish steers on feed, holsteins on stuffers so go through more corn than I can grow. Right now 1/3 of my acres in beans and the rest in corn, the rotation is corn 2 years beans for a year. Debating on just putting it all in corn because I run out every year, and always end up buying bedding as well so the extra stalks will come in handy for that. It's nice to spread out risk with the beans and the bean check usually pays for all my inputs for the year so it's nice that way. It also works nice for spreading manure, I can clean out all the sheds and piles on the corn ground then chisel plow that in the fall, then just spread on bean ground all winter without having to bounce across ruts. Chisel that in the spring and put it back into corn. Just looking for opinions on what kind of a yield drag/ pest/ disease issues i might run into. Thanks | |

Who uses 100% of your acres for corn?
