[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 689581, member: 7509"] Is this for grazing or hay? I assume grazing? A key bit of info in your soil test is the pH - correct that as well as fertilizer as needed. Have you considered using a clover/grass mixture? I would plant it wiith oats as a quick emerging cover crop then mow the oats once the understory has emerged. Most good seed suppliers have a prepackaged pasture mix including a number of locally adapted grasses plus either alfalfa or clover as the legume. Make sure the clover is innoculated so it persists. I have had very good luck with a very good grade of innoculated clover with a seed store pasture mix. Clover just seems to be less trouble than alfalfa for grazing. It really fills in for summer grazing when everything else sort of slows down. Good luck. Jim [/QUOTE]
