I have a 3 acre field that was in soybeans this year. I'd like to plant it in alfalfa next year. I planted RR alfalfa on my old farm and liked the results.
I planted the alfalfa in the fall and got good results, but would like to plant it this spring so it will be growing well by fall. I thought I'd plant it with oats. I understand weeds could be a problem. Can you tell me your results if you planted in the spring?
Also, RR alfalfa is expensive I was thinking about a non-RR variety. Has anyone gone this route? Any problems?
Haven't done a soil test yet but I add 3 tons of lime this summer so I'm hoping the PH is ok.
Thanks for any feedback.
