Ludington/Manistee MI area
Been very dry since late June. Everything looks rough especially in my part of the county. We are getting to the timeframe when alfalfa needs to be planted. With basically zero moisture to plant into does one plant and hope it gets rain and starts growing in time or wait for spring and plant then? How lates too late for my mapdot? Intent was to no till into wheat stubble.
