Late Season Growth Of Alfalfa In Canada Harvest Timing
Canadian farmers may cut alfalfa again in late September or early October with minimal regrowth before winter, preserving root reserves. Tests show about 19 percent protein in late cut alfalfa, best used as grass silage due to poor curing from wet conditions. Mixing 150 to 200 pounds of ground oats or barley when silaging aids preservation and balances moisture and protein content.
