Something is wrong with what you said. 10 to 15 pounds of alfalfa seed per ACRE plus a few pounds of grass seed per ACRE is on par but many growers tweek those rates to suit their needs.

If highly wet drainage could run a few hundred dollars per acre but there will be a need to investigate practicality as you may have a situation where an outlet for the artificial drainage may not exist.
