Sow Alfalfa In June Or July For Best Stand

Farmers are advised to seed alfalfa in June or early July after fallowing five to eight weeks in spring to kill weeds. Roll seedbeds after sowing, avoid mid July dry spells, and aim for early August seeding when following small grains. If too dry, delay until spring. Summer seedings after mid August risk winter kill. On cornstalk or clean grain stubble, disk rather than plow. Broadcast seed or drill shallowly and cover only to moist soil.
