Is that the alfalfa from russia that is greening up already? If I remember correctly that alfalfa is a one cut and stays green well into winter. Kinda thinking of maybe a fall planting of an acre to see how it goes...
Actually both the conventional alfalfa and the Siberian Falcata alfalfa are both greening up about the same.
The difference is that the falcata should not have to be mowed as frequently as conventional alfalfa. The other positive (in theory) is that the falcata supposedly is re-seeding and will last forever.
After I have had it growing on my place "forever" I'll know for sure...
Wind River Seed has a minimum order of $40 I think which will get you about 10#'s (roughly) I haven't checked 2009 prices.
So far it has done very well but this will be the second year so I'll keep you posted...
