Okay, I have 10 acres more or less that has just freed up from a prior lease. We are wanting to plant the fields to Alfalfa. It had corn on it and I am going to have the soil tested. No problem with weed spraying from the corn as the atrazine was minimal (already checked this). Okay so here is my question.
How much seed do I need if I want to use an alfalfa /timothy mix. What should the mix be?
The reason I am thinking of a mix is because isn't straight alfalfa a little rich for beef cattle? For my area (Western, NY) is alfalfa/timothy the best mix? I remember as a young girl, the fields had birdsfoot trefoil in the alfalfa, but that was to feed holsteins. Any ideas?
