East edge of The Palouse (where the timber starts) | Like everything... it depends. This year we hand lots of rain, we got our fertilizer on at the right time and had nice weather for growing grass. Our yields were: Timothy hay: 4.8 tons to the acre, Orchard/brome/timothy mixture: 3.25 tons to the acre. Alfalfa/brome mix: 2.75 tons to the acre. We only get one cutting a year. A normal yearly average for us farm wide is right around3 tons an acre on one cutting only.
