There's a lot of farmers making big money on alfalfa in SE SD.They have the right equipment. Put up big squares and sell it for about 200/T to IA dairy farms. They also have the self propelled swathers/ conditioners. that cut 20 acres and hour. Condition the hay, it can be done in 72 hours.

For sure better cash crop tha$5 corn. Especially you have the market there and can load semis full of round bales in 45 minutes. The big plus is there is no seeding and no nitrogen requirement a little P and K every year and that's it. Maybe a spraying for fungus or pests in an odd year.
