[QUOTE="Iowa237, post: 360651, member: 6055"] I'm not sure about your area? But here, I always seed in the spring... unless I'm just throwing clover and treefoil over may established pasture... then I might do that in the fall. Anyways, I usually sow alfalfa and timothy for my hay ground. If it's something that I'll have in pasture in 4 or 5 years, I'll use alfalfa, broom, and orchard grass. The broom will compete very hard against your alfalfa. So at the point where the alfalfa is about choked out, you'll have some good grass, and then you can get some other legumes started. You'll want a cover crop such as oats, etc... to help control the weeds untill that alfalfa gets going. If I can... I usually only take one cutting of alfalfa/oat hay the first year and allow the alfalfa to get good growth so it can store up and build root strenght. [/QUOTE]
