I am still working on my short term ag plan. I am currently growing oats as a cereal hay product. I have found this to be a complete waste of time and resources in my area. I can sell it if I give it away. In short, I want out of the hay business FAST. However, I need to keep my field clean thus the reason for growing it.

I am primarily looking for something I can grow over 30+ acres, harvest easy enough, have a good solid retail market, and be worth my time to grow. I could get stuck with another year or two of oat hay but I am trying to avoid it...
