Alfalfa Question

[rgv]

OK - Figure this.
They rent the drill for 8.00 per acre for the first 25 acres.
If it is over 25 it is 4.00 an acre.

I think this field is about 15 - 17 acres.
If i figure I will do a few areas a couple directions due to terrain could be at 20 acres x 8.00 = $160.00.
(They go by the meter on the drill)

So I'm thinking, where else could I do some drilling.
26 x 4.00 = $ 104.00 - ( Doesn't that make sense)

Have a small alfalfa field that is straight alfalfa. It is in good shape. I alway wished I would have put some OG in with it but didn't. Field is 3 years old. Would it hurt to drill some OG in it?
Will it germinate?

Thanks

Check the figures with them. The cost for 26 acres may be:
25 * $8 = $200
1 * $4 = $ 4
===========
26 acres = $204

I can't say how seeding OG will work in your area this time of year.

That what I thought at first.
But they charge a flat 4.00 per acre if used for more than 25 acres.
26 x 4.00 = 104.00

If used for only 25 acres it is 25 x 8.00 = 200.00

Don;t know about in norhten MO, but it's a couple of weeks early to drill OG in this part of the state.

Well when you do it make sure you get to at least 26 even if you got to drive it down the road !

drill the whole thing in two directions. Your sure to get good coverage that way.

Drill thin and go over it twice.
