[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 152369, member: 220"] The tricky thing about alfalfa (at least what I've seen up here), is that it sure doesn't like getting it's feet wet. Grows well on slopes and on the tops of the rolling hills in the hayfields, but tends to die out in the low spots. Have noticed that the clover seems to handle the wetter areas a bit better, but not much in the way of regrowth if you're hoping for a second cut (I dream about having a long enough growing season for that) or if you want to run some cattle on the regrowth (we do that after the frost sets in and the chances of bloat are reduced, as well as keeping the ground hard enough to avoid having it punched down by the cows hooves). Maybe go for a coffee at your neighbours places, and see what types of forage they've found grows best in your local soil and terrain conditions. Good luck with it. Take care. [/QUOTE]
