This system provides for the following crops each year: 40 acres of corn; 20 acres of oats; 10 acres of cowpeas for hay 10 acres of soy beans for seed 80 acres of wheat 20 acres of red clover for hay 20 acres of alsike for seed 20 acres of red clover for seed 20 acres of alsike for pasture, except from June to August. We also have some permanent pasture which we may use at any time that may seem best. If necessary we may cut all the clover for hay the fourth year, and we may pasture all summer the sixth year. We can pasture the corn stalks during the fall and winter when the ground is in suitable condition. We plan to raise our own horses and perhaps some to sell. In addition we may raise a few dairy cows for market, but will do little dairying ourselves. |
