northeastern Ohio | I have been no-tilling alfalfa for the past 10 years. I only have had one failure in those 10 years (field had a lot of wet spots and needed lime). I started with a JD 750 drill and now use a JD 1560. I put the alfalfa seed in the big box to save time. I set the depth wheels to the shallowest setting. I usually put some timothy in the grass seed box and let it dribble on top of the ground ahead of the openers. Most of my seedings have been done in the spring, but I did one after wheat one year. The spring planted alfalfa always gives me two cuttings the first year. Good luck and let us know how it turns out! | |
