Grass In With Alfalfa On Slopes To Prevent Erosion
Iowa extension soil conservationist Lester E. Clapp advises sowing grass with alfalfa on sloping ground to curb soil wash and runoff. Timothy or smooth bromegrass works, with 5 to 10 pounds of grass per acre typical alongside 10 to 16 pounds of alfalfa. Brome is durable and fills thin spots, while timothy is less drought tolerant. An oat or corn stalk residue is recommended for fall seedings, with cultipacker aiding germination and reducing erosion. Hay output projected higher this year, near 1940 levels.
