Alfalfa enriches the soil by sending roots 12 to 85 feet deep and lifting potash and other nutrients into upper layers. An experiment in Canada shows alfalfa sod yields higher crops: 61.5 bushels of wheat per acre vs 42 on timothy sod and 24 bushels of corn vs 18 on timothy sod, with barley also higher.
The 1910 Wisconsin census shows alfalfa grown on 18 000 acres with 2.8 tons per acre and an average value of 31 dollars per acre. Timothy and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre valued at 14 dollars. Cost to grow alfalfa equals timothy or clover at about 10 dollars per acre, yielding a 21 dollar per acre profit versus 4 dollars for the latter crops.
Wisconsin reports show nearly 40 000 acres seeded to alfalfa with an average yield of about four tons per acre making it the most valuable forage crop with income more than five times that of other hay crops.
