ALFALFA

Gonna plant the bulldog 505 exclusively for deer this year. I have about a neutral ph, and also have irrigation on it. I live in ga is the reason this is kinda unordinary. Got any pointers? Heard it don’t get much better if your able to get a good stand of it!

 

Should have planted it about 3 months ago.

 

When they recommend fall planting it is for the next spring.

 

Man I hate to hear that!

 

Sorry man.

 

Well, no time like the present. Do it now and you won't be in this position next year.

Or get some cereal rye and crimson clover in the ground.

 

I dont know about Georgia but here in Oklahoma you get way better tonnage off fall planted alfalfa. Mid September is optimal planting date in the south. Just make sure your seed bed is well prepared and firm. Are you drilling or broadcasting?

 

Btw, I grow the Bulldog 805, 60 acres of it for hay production. You are right on time to plant it.

 

+1. I have mine with me until the bugs are gone.

 

Don't we all? Alfalfa is good for that.
lol

 

Broadcasted it! Round up twice been preparing seed bed for a month!. I thought I done the research.... stuff cost to much to not do some homework! Haha

 

You can spring plant it in the south but the root establishment is better when fall planted. It will last longer and yield better. Good choice, Dr. Joe Bouton did some awesome work in regards to alfalfa and for Georgia agriculture.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

Just planted 12 acres of Alfalfa, letting the cameras soak for now, I did get a shot on opening day , it flew high, but part of me didn’t want to take it down in that Ky heat. She’ll be there meet month.
