[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 718815, member: 1715"] Nothing wrong with complex seed mixtures to generate lots of tons per acre. Seed cost, soil type, stand life, and harvest method are the foundational questions. I have heavy soil and the kids won't pick many rocks now so I put 1 to 1.5 lbs/acre ladino clover in everything. I have seeded it with Kura, Red, BFT, alfalfa, meadow fescue, tall fescue, reed canary... If I cann't graze it, then I try to have the neighbor make a little balage since white clover is a bitch to dry. Alfalfa is a very good idea on fertile but droughty soil. Otherwise - - I think it costs way too much to establish with today' input costs. Don't ask me how I know. Red clover can be too aggressive in a new stand but it frost seeds well. I now leave RC out of the original mix but over seed with it when the alfalfa starts to thin out. [/QUOTE]
