This time of the year, you see some corn being harvested for silage and others still drying out in the fields, waiting to be harvested as feed corn with the proper amount of moisture. A good explanation of the differences and challenges of waiting for the corn to dry enough to be harvested while the fields haven't turned to winter slop.
While you might think the ranches out west have the highest population of beef cattle per square mile, it's actually the grasslands of Nebraska, Missouri, Oklohoma, Kentucky and Tennessee where you can find the most cows grazing.
Lands regularly plowed for growing field crops like corn and soy.
One of my pass time activities I do usually when waiting on something is to look at show cattle on Facebook and try to score them in my head. There are some real super cattle out there thanks to modern genetics.
I chisel plow the manure that we spread so it breaks down faster! By incorporating the manure, you'll lose less Nitrogen to volatization.
