Yup. I did. Will never do again as the yields are way too low in comparison to corn.

done it a few times but corn is what I usually go for. If I plant grain crops it's for the straw

For silage I believe it is corn > gras > grain

I have only done when I didn't have a seeder that couldn't plant corn and I hadn't planted any grass fields. This was on Sosnovka when I first started and was doing some cows.

It does say what to use in the game. Me personally I dedicate one maybe 2 big fields to grass then that way it just a case of applying the fert then mow with the big X and 70k tipper. My clamp will usually do over a mil which keeps the money coming in. Just make sure you wait for great demand and get it in the mixer in one go the price will stay the same as it's going in.

Just use the smallest and next size up conveyer. Make a decent mound of silage around the feeder conveyer before switching it on then use a Wheelloader with the 11k mod bucket. Just keep building that mound try not to knock the feeder conveyer cause that will stop the whole process and the price will go down a bit. A full clamp should bring you a mil plus if you do it in one hit with great demand.
