Whats the difference between the two cuttings?
First cutting is larger, coarser. Second cutting will have more clover in the bales from our north field. Amount of alfalfa depends on the amount of rain and our irrigation…alfalfa tends to do better when it’s dry because it has an enormous tap root that can find moisture when the grass can’t. There isn’t a lot of alfalfa in our fields anyway, but if this is a concern to you, ask us about the particular crop(s) we’ve got in the barn.
