What kind of yields could someone expect, in tons per acre? I know I can realistically expect one cutting, two in realy really really wet year.
OR, and probably preferable for me and my horses since I don't normally feed alfalfa, does anyone have recommendations for native grasses that will make good hay, and yield fairly well? If I do grass I'm strongly considering stacking it loose to see how that goes. Just can't depend on Wayne next door keeping his baler running for me!
