I planted a lot of new food plots this year and two contain alfalfa. Although I tried to write down everything that went into the seed mix, I can’t remember if I put oats rye wheat or any of the three in those fields. Both of those fields had one of the three in them this spring that went to seed, so when I worked those fields even though they had been sprayed with Gly in late July and early August there could have been a fair amount of germination from dormant seed. Here are my concerns:
1. I don’t want so much cover that it crowds out the alfalfa and I honestly don’t know how much that takes but there is a lot of “something” in those two fields.
2. I write something because those fields have had grass in them and it could have went to seed too. As long as the crop doesn’t crowd out the alfalfa I am not real worried, but I don’t want run of the mill grass growing. Some of it is about 12-16 inches tall and has started to seed.
3. I am 10 hours from the farm now, but when I return I will post some pics. Any help regarding whether I should spray to kill the grass or cover would help. Thanks.
