What farm equipment do you need to grow alfalfa?

Growing alfalfa is relatively easy provided you have adequate soil and water available. Alfalfa is a perennial, meaning once the field is seeded you usually don't have to replant year after year. To start a field you will need a seed spreader. Once the field is established, you will need a sprayer to apply herbicide to keep weeds from crowding out or mixing in with your alfalfa. Depending upon the model of sprayer and the type of fertilizer you want to use, you may need another machine to spread fertilizer - alfalfa has a lot of nitrogen in it, so you generally have to supplement the field with nitrogen to maintain adequate yields over the years. Harvesting alfalfa hay takes the most equipment and time. You will need a mower or cutter to chop off all but a few inches of the plant and lay the stems and leaves down in the field. After about a day, you'll need to use a rake to flip the alfalfa over and let it finish drying on both sides. Once dry, you'll need a baler to collect and package the alfalfa into bales. You can also may alfalfa silage, which will require the same mower but a different rake and either a bagging machine or a wagon to carry the wet alfalfa to a silo or packager.
