    What are the options for a field of newly planted Non-RR Alfalfa that has a heavy infiltration of Ragweed? The Alfalfa is about 6” tall and the ragweed is growing fast and is much taller. Would the only option be to brush hog the field to cut down the ragweed for now and then have to bale it...

    Hey folks, I recently heard a producer say his lower lignin alfalfa wouldn't crimp but went through the rollers like a wet noodle. He was having a hard time drying it for baling. Anybody else seeing that? Is this a one-off thing (rollers not adjusted right?) or more common? Lynn

    For those that use a Alfalfa-Winter wheat rotation how long do you usually spend in each section of the rotation. For example: 4 or 5 years alfalfa to 1 year wheat and back to alfalfa?.
