Subject: How many tons per acre on alfalfa?


I am curious how many tons per acre you expect on average for alfalfa on your acres and how you get them. How many cuttings do you usually get? Do you fertilize yearly? Do you cut pre bloom if possible or let some bloom before cutting?
I appreciate any info. I am trying to decide whether to plant more hay next year or just row crop. So far, I am unimpressed with the local hay market and cannot match row crop profit with alfalfa. The per hour profit looks even worse. The only problem is, I love to make hay. I am wondering if I am getting all I should be out of my acres.
