Yeah , I know I been posting alot, about a little. But hey, I got lots going on and this is the year. I have pretty sandy soil, about 70% of the farm any way. It has been rotated corn/soybeans for the last 20+ years, overloaded with chicken manure ( about 4-6" thick every 4 years), puonded with herbicides. I want to stop renting out and build up the soil so I can get a good crop off it my self. I stopped spreading manure this past year and am selling it and will do a test plot based on county soil and water dist recommendations. They seam awful busy right now so I am asking ya all this. When the guys RR beans get off his fall I was gonna drill in Rye right after, and from what I know I should leave it grow through spring and plow it under just as it starts heading out. Then I was gonna seed in oats and and let it grow and that folowing december spread the chicken manure to whatever SWCD says I should and compost or sell the rest. Is this a good plan or not. Am I better off just putting her in hay and farm hat for a few years to build up some good sod ground?
