I think I would get a handle on the agronomy before rushing into planting any crop. It is not so much poor soil as matching a crop that is suitable to that soil which maybe something other than corn or beans. Has a soil test been done? What is the drainage like? What are the tillage practices? We have soils here that do so much better to work after a decent shower than running a cultimulcher or roller harrow across ten times to get it fit to plant. If corn really struggled in this field I don't expect soybeans to do appreciably better. The big advantage is a much lower input cost to the crop. Being a dairy you have a way to handle forage crops. That might be the best use in the short term. Since you yourself are not milking you will want to sell the hay. Figure out what would grow best and see if there is a good market for it. Regardless of what you do you need to assess the soil type(s) first and then determine the health of that soil including drainage and fertility.
