NE Iowa
I agree with your math Jim on the tons needed. Now for hay yield it depends on how thick the alfalfa is and fertility. If you have a good stand of alfalfa, good fertility currently, and will topdress removal rates of P & K then you could get by with about 15 acres total of hay baled for the winter. If the stand of alfalfa is only 50% and you won't fertilize it then it may take around 22-25 acres to get the 95 tons.
