The article advises selecting varieties suited to the area and farm needs. It recommends mixing 6 to 8 pounds of alfalfa with 6 to 8 pounds of bromegrass for hay and alfalfa with 4 pounds of orchardgrass for pasture. For erosion areas use 3 pounds orchard and 5 pounds bromegrass with alfalfa. Reducing alfalfa to 4–5 pounds and increasing orchardgrass to 4 pounds and bromegrass to 3 pounds lowers bloat risk in grazing stands.
