So I have slowly cleared on my farm until Ive got about 45 acres that are currently leased for corn/beans. 170.00 per acre. But having crops in the fields have opened up a lot of erosion also. Some ditches are at least knee deep maybe more. I've been running the idea of planting it all back in orchard grass and another mix. I just hate seeing my fields tore up after harvests until the next spring plant. My farmer has planted to control erosion but that has minimal benefit. I will be retired in less than three yrs so i will have the time to dedicate to cutting/ planting/ and baling. Any thoughts, suggestions, comments on this matter. I have a 45hp new holland but no other equipment yet. It may require a large amount of money to get set up but may pay for itself in a couple years. Horse hay is in pretty high demand in our area and with a good product you move easily. Thanks for any input.
