Farmers are reluctant to seed down (and hence – rotate) due to the work; high risk of less than ideal stands that will haunt them for the next three years; and the low yield on the seeding year. There is now an option that can produce 8 – 15 tons/acre of silage (2.8 – 5+ tons of dry matter/acre) seeding year with minimal work, and no economic weed pressure.
