Alfalfa corn rotation boosts yield and reduces fertilizer
Studies funded by Minnesota groups show alfalfa followed by corn increases grain and silage yield and lowers nitrogen fertilizer needs. First-year nitrogen credits vary by soil texture and weather, with some fields needing no nitrogen. Second-year credits often cut required rates by half or more, especially with sidedress applications. A March 9 business plan workshop at Ridgewater College Hutchinson offers growers guidance on planning and implementing such rotations.
