Alternative crops

Has anyone found other crops that grow well, have accessible markets and are profitable in the Cornbelt. I would really like to get more crops in my rotation. We have been growing alfalfa for twenty years and have found that there are huge benefits to having it in the rotation. I feel we have to much pest and disease pressure in corn on corn and corn-soybean rotations.

I guess to me the mileage doesn’t seem huge. But then again all our commodities have to go at least 180 miles one way. Up to 300 miles for potatoes and alfalfa.
