Fifty or sixty years ago, corn was the last of the row crops to be harvested. Now, corn harvest
in South Georgia is pretty much done by mid-late August. Plenty of time left for a late summer hay or
forage crop on the same dirt, or a winter vegetable crop.

My educated guess on yields of the pictured crops: 2.5 tons of goobers per acre, and 2.5 bales of cotton.
