Alfalfa Seed Prospects in Lincoln County and Hagerman Valley
A discussion with Ben Darrah explores growing alfalfa seed in northern Lincoln County after a first hay cut. He says two hay and seed crops can fit a long season, potentially yielding $50 to $100 per acre, with reseeding aided by disk methods. Alfalfa improves soil humus and nitrogen, aiding future crops, and may outpace sugar beets in profitability. The piece also notes Albion State Normal School expanding teacher training programs and certificates.
