Too much rain at the wrong time seemed to impact many alfalfa growers this harvest season and while we can’t change the weather, one Winfield United expert says management around the alfalfa cutting cycle and incorporating new alfalfa technologies can give some flexibility for harvesting, cutting, and managing alfalfa.
