Subject: RE: Poor Condition Ground & Alfalfa


west central wisconsin

And you are sure that you want to pay rent for this ground?  Granted, the low cec is your friend as far as correcting the pH..... and I too have corrected some poor, badly neglected farms, as having options is always in my best interest.  I would apply some lime after you perhaps disc the weeds once, just so the applicators can do an accurate job of applying lime....

Is there possibly a dairy nearby that needs to get rid of some manure?  At the right time, just having ground available to apply manure can be a blessing to a large dairy nearby.  

I would carefully consider if you are absolutely certain that you want this ground and look at the costs to bring it back to production.  For certain, it's a long long ways from growing alfalfa productively.  

Most places, ground like that belongs in CRP, as that would possibly be the money maker
