So I been thinking I know really I should just try and see for myself what might work! But in my area we have thousands of acres of stripped mined ground! Here in western pennsylvania! Some hobby farmers try to farm it but if you get lucky and plow up were the top soil was piled up you can grow a decent corn crop or bean for our area! But most of it is a few inches of dirt and rock! Most of it is just growing up in scrub brush and weeds but you can get it to grow hay! But i need a crop to bust up the weeds before hay! My dad always said it was good for nothin but thats cause he only wanted to grow corn beans and hay! I think! Maybe the old man is right! And we had enough ground around that was never stripped for his farming needs! But I like to think outside the box and try new things if they may have a chance to work! And since I'm just trying to get started farming! Is thier any other crops that would grow in my climate and on poor rock soil that might make a dollar! With todays no till planters I think a guy may find something that may work! what type of ground do sun flowers like? Just thiking of ideas! I know they would make excellent pasture for beef cows but I don't have the money to start a beef herd yet! Someday I hope! Any ideas?
