Seedbed Prep Key for Fall Grass Planting in Kansas
Kansas farm agent Dickson explains fall grass seeding requires a good seedbed packed and fertilized for best germination. Drilling grass seed ensures even distribution, with 10 to 14 pounds per acre for biome and 6 to 8 pounds for fescue with alfalfa. Brome and tall fescue are noted options with specific mixing ratios and fertilization needs. Ottawa trial reports beef yields of about 302 to 304 pounds per acre for brome alfalfa and fescue alfalfa pastures respectively.
