    YOU WON!!! YOU WON A FARM!!!!

    Alfalfa monoculture next year Z4

    The previous owners of my farm had horses. One of the pastures had great soil and horrible weeds. I bought Eagle seed RR alfalfa and put it in the pasture two years ago and have never had to mow it.

    The variety of alfalfa makes a difference. Deer prefer small stem.
