Subject: Re: How many tons per acre on alfalfa?


western wi
i cut 3 cuttings a year. first 2 before bloom and the third i will be starting in about a half hour. i like to let one cutting go to full bloom. it seems to help the longevetiy of the stand. depending on rainfall, we will get between 4-7 t\a\year. the last 2 years i havn't put on any potash( $600+ potash and $15 milk doesn't really come out right) but i do manage my manure very well and every acre is coverd at least once if not twice a year. as far as markets, if you do not need the feed, try find somebody who does. a feed lot or a dairy in your area, or possibly a hay jockey.
