Subject: Organic transition land - Best silage crop to use?


PE
I have land that had RR soybeans in 2016 and I have entered it into the 3yr transition.
I am planning to split this field with barley/clover and would like to add in another crop that we can get a decent cut of silage this year.
Local dairy grows great silage crops with an 80/20 alfalfa/reed canary mix. I'm concerned that the reed canary could become a long term problem? This land will be moved into a 3-4yr organic potato rotation. Our grain growing season runs from Mid May planting to a harvest in late August. Generally run the standard Oats or barley, clover, and potato rotation but running short on land for feed this year.

Any suggestions?
