City Farmer’s Alfalfa Resilience Across Fields Near Major City
For twelve years a city bred man near a large city has raised alfalfa on six fields. Last year he had twenty sores. The first cutting reaches thirty to thirty six inches and yields two to three tons per acre. The next two cuttings average about a ton or more each, totaling four to six tons per acre. He uses the stand after each cutting to prevent ground packing around crowns. One field yielded good hay for ten years and another, six years old, improves yearly. He does not permit hogs to graze alfalfa, avoiding runways that bluegrass would spring up in.
