I planted 10 acres in 2009 going to get 8 , 1500 lbs bales to the acre dryland this year from it . We planted 170 acres in 2011 90% of the plants died or didnt grow .

hmm i thought it was suppossed to be more hardy than that,you just bale it and didnt graze it?

the guy that told me about has had stands last for 11 years still going strong he says its the best alfalfa he has ever seen .
I have only grazed it a little bit .

as for haying i love the rebound 5,its very agressive and come back really quick,last year i took 4 cuttings and the fall was dry,i cut it about every 28-30 days,i have a stand of that that is 6 years old and is still very good
