More Corn Or Soybeans Next Year?
The University of Illinois is saying beans have been more profitable that last few years and predict they will be in 2017. They suggest some corn on corn ground go to soybeans.
There are a lot of weedy soybean fields around here and it makes one wish alfalfa was a viable crop. No money in hay this year.
So - weedy beans or cheap corn next year?

About the same amount - pretty close to 50 / 50 here and don't plan to change it .
