I would get a soil map to find out what you are working with. Plenty of clay around me where even with today's seed technology it would be challenging to get 150 bu. per acre.

I think I would opt for corn on last year's bean ground and beans on the sod. I would like to see some degree of tillage where the sod was. Aerator or zone-till perhaps.
