Another thing I have do is 1/3, 2/3s Instead of cash rent the farmer takes 2/3 of the crop and I always had my 1/3 left in field.

I actually forgot about the Gibson County soil and conservation office ... they do have a drill. I wonder if beans can run through it or if it is smaller seed only .... shall call them today and find out.

Theirs is a Ty Pasture Pleaser pull behind no till.....my Ford 4000 doesn't have remotes so I'll either have to add them or rent the same tractor I rented back in August when I banged up my truck. Its a Kubota 55 hp I believe and it does have remotes.

Switch grass does well here Get Alamo Its the Tallest or Cave in Rock I have never done it but Frost seeding on tilled ground should work great I have switch but I used no till drill I am planning to sow Birdsfoot trefoil, in a couple food plots, as a dominate legume suited to my soil type; as it is currently growing on my property but competing with other grasses. plants.usda.gov/factsheet/pdf/fs_loco6.pdf

Might want to reconsider the birdsfoot it has been found to be somewhat invasive I killed fescue for a friend and birdsfoot came in that was there 30 yes ago and seems to be chocking out other more desirable species

Curious about the recommendation of Alamo switchgrass.... The charts I'm seeing show it as a more southern grass. Have you planted it as far north as southern Indiana with good results?

The two plots I have plans to sow it are away from my home, so no harm done. I haven't thought about switch grass, sounds like something to consider.
