Silver said:Peace is the most common alfalfa in this zone. Some are using Spreader (Spreader 4 is the latest I think). This far north Timothy and Brome are the tried and true grass hay varieties. There are climates / areas where Meadow Foxtail works very well for people, and it grows in climates where alfalfa doesn't do well. Around here it's an all or nothing approach though. If you wait until the alfalfa and other grasses are ready for cutting the foxtail is way past it's best and coarse as well.
