Interplantings with corn?

Good Point, thats why I try to cover with a legume. Also this weekend, I'm digging out the old chemestry set to check the npk and ph. My main crop is grass....... corn and fescue.......

HUH? where ya getting that? We are talking about growing crops not what we do with them later. Besides that Mine is in a creek bottom so it is subject to flooding

I live in Zambia (southern Africa).
All small farmers here intercrop corn with beans, pumpkins, or groundnuts. (They have no herbicides) It provides some drought insurance as in a bad year the beans and pumkins will yield even if the corn doesn't. It also provides food for the family as both bean and pumpkin leaves can be cooked and eaten. Any legume will help feed that hungry corn as well.

Interesting Ive never seen either bean or pumpkin leaves cooked. What sort of a dish is it?

Groundnuts? Like peanuts?
