Southern IL | Ive had good luck, by drilling wheat in the fall, then mixing red clover and orchard grass in your spring dry urea. (spread here about late Feb) I had the co-op double spread it, came up nice and even. You will still get a cutting of "stubble-clover" the first year about September. The next year will be really nice hay, I have some that this will be the 3rd year, its about 60% orchardgrass and 40% clover now. My first year seemed to be heavy in clover. I got 3 cutting last year. If I recall correctly I put out about 12-15# of red clover and about 10-12# of orchard grass. Makes very good cattle feed. I sell the 3rd cutting small squares. Alfalfa is good, but I found it was to high of maintenance for me and my cattle, and my hay buyers didn't want to pay for Alfalfa. good luck, im in southern IL.
