Prevent Sod Bound Grass With Alfalfa Mixes On Prairies
Farm notes from Swift Current advise reseeding sod bound fields with grass alfalfa mixtures to restore nitrogen and boost yields. Pure grass declines after year four, while mixed planting yields rise to about 2,500 pounds per acre first year and remain higher than pure grass. Recommendations include alfalfa 1 2 pounds with grass, Meadow Fescue or Brome as alternatives, and Manitoba guidance on seed rates and forage mixtures under erosion relief programs. The piece also discusses fertilizer effectiveness, livestock feeding economics, and policy-supported seed programs with per acre pricing of 1.70 dollars for Meadow Fescue and Alfalfa mixtures.
