Cowpeas Recommended As Alfalfa Replacement In Kansas
Kansas State Agricultural College expert Ralph Kenney urges cowpeas as a forage and soil improving crop where alfalfa fails. Cowpeas grow on various soils with moisture and care, blend well with corn or sorghum for silage, and yield nutritious silage equal to corn alone with higher protein content. They require careful drill placement and moisture, with hay value limited by harvesting difficulty and woody stems. Seed crops are uncertain but farmers can typically raise enough for own use, with prices around $3 per bushel.
