Am thinking about what we could effectively grow here as a double crop after harvesting wheat and before planting corn the following year. I would also like to build up the soil organic matter on some of the farms. I've read that sorghum-sudangrass might be a good choice, as it puts down deep roots and is fairly drought resistant. I'd probably make one cutting then chop/shred the rest after frost. Anyone in the Plains do this, and if so, what have been your results? Double-crop soybeans are "iffy" here, with lack of moisture being an issue. Thanks. |
