I would realy check your soil ph--also I got thinking if poor stand was in eroded areas maybe soil did not work up as well clods etc resulting in poor seed to soil contact--a drill does a better job than broadcast--I believe that rolling the ground after planting is helpful. Also maybe the ph in the eroded areas is different than other parts of the field. Don't feel to bad alot of good farmers have had the same problem. It so important to have all condition right with alfalfa--soil condition,ph, fertility, seed soil contact, lbs of seed per acre, etc. The seed is expensive and you usally live with for several years. Did you visit with your County Extension people? They are usally very helpful and knowledable. They might even come out and take a look. Don't give up--like all aspects of farming you just have to keep "fighting back". Might check into fall seeding in your area weather its replant or interseeding----Good Luck
