One thing to keep in mind is the soil is most likely sandy and low CEC compared to your Iowa dirt. Hard to hold on to nutrients
I worked on a dairy in SW Georgia for several years. We would buy corn for silage from neighbors this time of year July 4-31. Then they would plant beans after. The beans yielded anywhere from 25-60 bpa (irrigated). They would call those beans a cover crop. There is incredible Palmer pigweed pressure there, had to have something growing.
The dairy would plant corn for silage in March-April, chop for silage in July, then plant sorghum or millet to chop in October-November. Then plant wheat to chop before corn. All irrigated, with the lagoon water also going out through the pivots.
When heat, sun, and water are limitless, it’s crazy what you can do compared to us in the frozen North
