Looking for crops that I can rotate with Spring/Winter Wheat on dryland.
Currently I do one crop a year with old style mechanical fallow on the off years Just can't afford a no-till of any type and when I can they're too worn out to be a tool.
Like the idea of winter peas as a rotation crop but looking for something that can be sold as well. Can't see a green manure working economically in my situation.
Is there a market for round bales of pea hay? Does it bale well?
I've tried triticale hay as a rotation and it's fine and markets well but it's pretty similar to wheat and doesn't help my soil any.
I've done safflower but wasn't a big fan.
Other ideas or suggestions? Would need to either be combined or baled to fit with my machinery options.
Posted in Crop talk for some agronomy input.
I thought you guys would be able to speak on the feed value/marketability of pea hay?
I predict lots of dirt in the bales and wearing out your baler quickly. |
