Best Month for Alfalfa Sowing Advised by NY Agricist
John H. Barron of the New York State College of Agriculture urges sowing alfalfa in May after fall land prep. He cites Lovejoy farm near Pittsford, Monroe County, where cabbage grew in 1930 and alfalfa sown alone in May 1981 produced a weed free stand by June 25. The practice yields higher hay value than a nurse crop and reduces winter kill and weed competition.
