We are looking at putting in a few acres (just 4-5) of alfalfa. The place my son works at has 7-8 50 pound bags of alfalfa seed that have been sitting for 5-7 years. He can have this seed for the low low price of free. I know there is a test that if you drop alfalfa seed is a container of warm water and if the seeds sink they MIGHT be good - but if they float, they are definitely bad. Any other way to test - other then carefully measuring some out and planting in a pot to see if it sprouts while in the house?

I'll ask that here - what happens when alfalfa is overseeded?
