ANDALE KANSAS | In my area of south central kansas alfalfa is by far is the best cash crop i can produce
We usually get enough rain for 4-6 tons an acre..Usually get a big enough window of dry weather to get it put up without rain so it is ideal alfalfa country....lots of feedlots and dairies west of us that pay per RFV point on the larger sized bales... I produce small square for hobby farms and horse people... It is mostly wheat country where i am at with milo, beans and ( highly insured corn.....ugh ) thrown in the mix for rotational purposes....lots of alfalfa grown here.... we are increasing acres next year....A huge differance in my situation and most is i have a son in college who doesnt mind the work and a ten year old comming up thru the ranks....We run old equipment that is very low overhead....We are optomistic it will remain a viable part of our farm...especially if everyone is tearing up their alfalfa........
