Wheat would only benefit the farmer if he already had the equipment needed to combine the wheat. Also it comes off later and negates planting in corn. Wheat is usually followed by soybeans. What I would do is take the outer rows against the woods, say 10-12 feet and plant it in clovers, winter wheat or whatever. Usually that is the least fertile land due to trees sucking the nutrients out of the dirt anyway. It's a win win as your crops are out of the way of the farmer and you'll still get an attractant/ food source for animals. And it wouldn't be a big expense for you or the farmer. Durana clover is absolutely the best thing I have found for this. Every field I have planted it on, is has spread over into these area's, and I have tried to get other forage crops to grow there.

CRP and let the government pay you rent. I would seriously consider doing a portion in crp and leaving a portion in row crop. From discussions I’ve had with landowners in Kentucky, they are making the same odd crp as they do share cropping.

100 acres is a lot of open ground. If it was me I’d rotate on 1/3’s or 1/4’s and burn, let grow, plant crops and leave standing etc.
Neither harvested row crop or hay provides much benefit in the winter That was my problem with row cropping, it’s great when crops are there, but after harvest, those fields are somewhat of a Barren wasteland for the most part with the exception of what naturally pops up, or the areas I plant. But once its sprayed in the spring before planting, its dead again. Maybe next year if we get back into row cropping it I’ll talk to the farmers about doing a winter crop. Cover crops which are also typical deer plot plants.

There's no money in hay, for the person who rents the land to someone, or the person who rents the land from someone.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
