My rotation includes planting hay after no-till soys. We no-till the soys after corn, so this March I ran over the bean stubble with a rototiller to bury some of the cornstalks left over and smooth out some tracks from lime spreading. My no-till drill placed the pasture mix a couple of weeks ago and the rows are visible from the front window as I type. Grass benefits from the nitrogen fixed by the soys, and we avoid the atrazine damage to alfalfa with the year after the corn crop. Having three fields to rotate, the oldest got chiseled last Fall and planted to corn this past Friday- rows are up and visible, also. I'll keep that field through corn/soys/corn/soys before going back to hay.
I understand you wanting to get out of the hay field this year, if you get first cutting off little early, you can give the beans maximum potential for rain before the summer dries up. As long as the field is smooth now, and you are careful not to rut it up during bean harvest, you could go right back to hay for next year.
