The geographical area in which the participants here spans North America, as well as much of the globe. Means and methods are always going to vary. Around here, every field will vary. I think that is the simplest way to put it.

I've done lots of small grains, grasses in years past, and worked with a farmer that knew how to get some of the best stands of hay, alfalfa and grain crops in this area. He developed his methods over time, but started when he was young. Even his father questioned what he did, as he told me when he first invested in a JD 420 and JD tow behind combine for his and custom work He proved people wrong by doing, paid off his debts and knew how to work this area as best can be done. Take that somewhere else, it may not work well or at all. His hay fields were planted with grain crops and the stands are the best I have seen. Not many hay fields are maintained or nurtured like his were, to this day. I learned a lot from him and think of him every time I walk into our fields.

The way I see it, you have to start off with what is typical for your area, then experiment with means and methods to see what you can improve, or what will not do so well, in both scenarios, knowledge is gained and that is how my long time friend did things. He also changed with the times where it made sense,but some of his methods were timeless and re-inventing the wheel just makes no sense.
