Farm News on Alfalfa Cutting Timing and Yields
The alfalfa field should stay productive for five years or more due to costly establishment. First cut timing is crucial especially on dryland where new shoots are hard to detect and cut at one third bloom. Second cut timing minimizes winter kill. 1952 yields show 2.5 tons per acre after the first cut across all treatments with varying results thereafter.
SWITCH HITTERS TARGET FOLLOWING ALFALFA CYCLE
An agricultural note discusses alfalfa cutting timing, suggesting a second cutting around mid August if growth supports it, with October 1 as a fallback. It notes grazing limits, rotation benefits, and disease risks, plus a Beaverlodge study on the MH chemical for wild oats showing selective effects with barley and flax tolerance but limited practical success and short treatment windows.
