Description
In previous addresses to this Conference, I have suggested four basic goals be included in your alfalfa program: 1) attention to details prior to and during establishment such that you establish a thick, weed-free stand; necessary management to; 2) keep the stand productive for five years; 3) produce five tons per acre per year, and; 4) market your harvest product either as a cash crop or through your livestock program for profit. In the presentations to follow today, information will be presented which, if adapted to your program, will permit you to reach and surpass the above goals.
The topic "No-till Alfalfa: Research and Observations", is not a simple topic to address. It is, however, a practice that has tremendous potential as we continue to expand alfalfa as an important crop in Kentucky.
