1. I have 14 acres which I use to rent to a man who grew corn. This coming year he is not going to rent it so I am going to plant Tifton 44 Bermuda grass on it under the EQIP program. They will pay for 50% of the cost and it�s only for a one year contract.

2. Problem is I need to get the old corn stalks cut up, how is the best way to do this? I think I can get the past renter to disk it up and maybe get him to run a cultivator over it. Of course, he will charge me to do this; anyone have any ideas how much for a 14 acre flat area? I think this should make a good grass (sprig) bed for another man to plant the 40 bushels per acre. He charges $140/acre to furnish and plant the grass. In this area (SE North Carolina), EQIP pays $187.90 per acre for all work. He wants to plant it the first week of April.

3. Any thoughts?

I agree just notill it the stalks will provide a little cover to hold in moisture and they will rot quickly .

are you going to use this grass for pasture or hay ground ? if pasture it might be better to find someone with a no-till drill to put in the grass seed .

My Iowa State University farm custom rate sheet has stalking shreding at a average of 7.45 acre,disking at 8.45,fieldculivating at 8.00 and seeding with drill at 10.15 these include labor and fuel.Price of fuel may increase this a little and these prices per acre are average.
