Michigan alfalfa could rise from 18 to about 21 tons per acre with better fertilization says James A. Porter MSU extension soils specialist. He estimates the gain at over twenty million dollars annually though soil testing now ensures a balanced diet for next year and late summer top dressing on heavy soils.
The article warns that alfalfa stands need a full month of growth before first frost and cites August 25 to September 25 as the critical period for cutting. It explains how late cutting weakens next spring’s stand and how September growth can deplete food reserves, risking winter injury. It also notes temporary silage storage options and recommends upright silos but acknowledges corn crops may favor horizontal or ground storage with plastic covers.
In Clare County farmers have until September 11 to mail or deliver ballots for the ASC election of community committeemen. Three members and two alternates per township will be chosen with the top vote-getters becoming chair and vice chair. New officers begin October 1 and a county convention on September 30 will name delegates.
