[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1253458, member: 1715"] - We usually rest "improved" pastures from late August till a killing frost, before grazing the stock pile. Not grazing in the fall may have helped a little by moderating temperature. - It is well known that alfalfa will not persist w/o great fertility. We have been grid testing and building up P and K. - Barnenburg is the biggest seed supplier. No K31 here. Other than that I am sure they sell the same improved seed in Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. I don't think they have factered in what it takes to survive an open winter at -30 F. - I found some Wisconsin hardiness data by variety. Fescues and OGs were 2s and 3s. Native grasses were 1s (best) and 2s... Looks like you need to be #1 when the site is exposed, dry, and cold. [/QUOTE]
