Beresford SD | I use Great Plains with coulter cart. I use the large box and sow 19-20# per acre. Erosion is greatly reduced as compared to using the Brillion on tilled ground as I used to. You will also have a firmer ,smoother field which really helps on windrowing the first year. We used 2/4D-B and Pusuit about a month after seeding and had very good weed control. You will cut your first cutting 60 days after seeding and can get 3 cuttings the first year here in SE SD . Last year we were too dry in August and did two cuttings. I always sow behind soybeans the previous year and have Redcop chopper on our combine to get thoroughly shredded and evenly dispersed spread behind our 30 foot head. I have found it works better to seed at a slight angle to what the soybean rows were. I set the disc setting about as shallow as it will go. I also carry the 3 point high enough so the coulters do not get too aggressive and the alfalfa rows are in a trench and could get buried to deep with a very heavy rain after seeding. | |
