Best Answer

It depends on how much you want, but it is going to cost about $100 per acre unless you are looking at many acres when it could drop to $50-70 - price will vary from around $20 to less than $10 per pound depending on the order. You will need 15-20lb per acre.

Use a seeding rate of 15 to 20 pounds per acre and a planting depth of zero to one and a half inches, increasing the pounds will not increase the amount of crop.

It will depend on what you want it for - food grade or for sowing, and how much you want - pound rate for a ton of seed grade will be far less than the rate for 1lb for sprouting at home.

How do you put in a alfalfa hay field?

If it was a fallow field, you should till it and run a cultipacker over it before you seed. That will help control weeds to an extent. When you seed, set your drill to drop about 15 pounds of seed per acre. That will give about 45 seedlings per square foot for the first year.


Why is hay important to Montana?

Alfalfa is the most important forage crop in Montana. It is grown in every county in the state and nearly all the hay is consumed by the livestock within the state. Alfalfa hay can have a protein level as high as 22% or more and as little as 10% or less depending on when harvest occurs and weather damage. The crop can produce four to seven tons per acre for a value of up to $560 dollars per acre. Alfalfa can be damaged by diseases, insects, grazing animals, and by harvesting too late in the growing season. Alfalfa is a very expensive crop to establish so landowners need to take care of their stands. Dairy cattle tend to require high amounts of high quality alfalfa while beef cattle utilize lower quality alfalfa. Most beef producers tend to seed some grass with their alfalfa while dairy producers demand a pure alfalfa crop that is cut early to maximize the protein content of the hay. The addition of grass to the seed mix is preferred by beef cattle owners and horse owners.
