Default RE: Rotating Crops

Good advice from Wingbone -

I go CORN, CORN, and maybeCORN again.

Then SOYBEANS, SOYBEANS

Then CLOVER for 3-5 years

The Soybeans help to break down the residual con stalks in the soil - and the Roundup over the Beans helps reduce the Weed Seed Reserve (especially grasses) - for when we plant clover again.

Thats my perfect rotation. Sometimes we mix in a Rye, Brassica or Winter Wheat planting - We'll do a often do aFALL planting and and overseed with the nextPROPOSED clover planting. Sometimes we need toOverseed or frost seed again with clover.
