The new alfalfa/oats seeding got baled during a break in the rains a few weeks back.
Nice thing about baling is everythig is gone, slick as a whistle, no weeds no muss no fuss and the regrowth is coming on strong.
Always nice when we can get paid to feed and attract deer...
My Falcata alfalfa is looking fine and most of it I'm not going to cut until I see a reason too but one side had a few weeds and a few spots of foxtail coming up.
So I clipped about 1/2 way across as you can see in this pic showing the clipped on the left looking slightly lighter then the right.
It didn't hurt it by any means but it's not very "enticing" afterwords as the stems are shattered and dry at the top where the mower hit them.
The uncut looks a whole lot tastier...
Just another little "test" but the whole point is that this alfalfa is so far not putting on the kind of heavy excessive growth that conventional alfalfa does (at least mine isn't) and is about the height of my red clover.
I thought I saw one or two yellow flowers the other day so I'm watching to see when it flowers and exactly when I will need to mow it.
The other side is a combination or red clover and falcata and it has almost zero weeds and man they are sucking that stuff down like it's candy! :way:
