So, this is a travel week for me at my day job. While flying, I was reading an old book on farming methods and I had an idea and wanted to see if I was totally nuts.
My parents and others in our area plant winter rye as a cover crop. In most cases, its just plowed under or no-tilled over in the spring. I know some people who let it grow out, combine the rye, clean it, and then sell the rye to people like my parents. In my head, I could see trying an old combine and old baler to combine rye and make straw to fund this hobby venture.
Any thoughts on this basic concept? It wouldn't be the only aspect I would pursue, but with the right equipment, it would allow for dual purposing of items, like a dump wagon and a baler that could be used other places if needed. I know rye and smaller grains are a bit harder to combine, but that is what research is for. Still thinking on a 30,000ft level.
