Like the title says, can you convert $350/acre rented ground to grass and still make it work on either cow/calf or stockers. Im talking 220+ corn yield ground. Would love to see the math on it if you say you can. Something myself and another person were talking about the other day and his claim is you can. I cant see how but havent run numbers myself.
a good sod is going to take at least a year to establish, if you stick with it 5 years and the market stays the course, then definitely yes. But nobody wants the low production that establishment year and you'll invest a lot more hours/acre in management than planting corn and soybeans. You'd have to rotate at least every 2 or 3 days to really drive the economics. Working it in a row crop operation on a percent of owned acres is really the sweet spot, every 5-10 years rotate it back to row crops and the row crops should really yield above average. Taking a one year view will probably never make it work unless you plant annuals and flip cattle.
