The rotating every 3-4 years takes alot of the profitability out of it IMO. Alfalfa is fairly expensive to put in, and we like to get 7-10 years out of it.
Must be a there thing here in 7-10 years you’d have a piss poor alfalfa stand. Dairies here only get 3-4 years out of an alfalfa stand. Before rotating it out. The field we get most of our alfalfa for baleage is 4 years old and plan to plant its replacement this spring.
