Alfalfa on Dry Land Growth Lessons From a Colorado Farmer
A dry land farmer in Deer Trail Colorado reports his experiment with Baltic alfalfa after starting with Grimm’s seed. The 3 ft 6 in row spacing and 1 3 4 pounds per acre produced quick germination, with clipping in July and August, and notes the crop stayed loose due to deep plowing. Alfalfa will not reach tall height in the first season and needs ample space per plant.
