We'd really like to plant it to alfalfa, but we rent it year to year and when it sells, it sells. We'd hate to make that kind of an investment in alfalfa, only to have a developer buy it next year and it's all being torn up for a new commercial building.
We're still kicking around what we should put in there. I think there is a soil sample, but I gotta ask Dad on that one. A former coworker I had planted 1/2 his bean with a drill (I think it was a great plains no-till drill), and 1/2 with a planter and rolled everything 2 years ago (the newest and latest craze) and said the drill used a bit more seed, but the harvest was about as dead even as you could get.
We put some manure on last spring too, but we never got any good primary tillage done and that's a must in most of the fields around here.
I would blame part of last year on the seed selection (strayed from the norm) and a cool, wet then dry summer and late planting. Wasn't good conditions but seems most others had a little better luck.
