Little River, TX | We have never planted alfalfa into a small grain crop, though we have planted small grains into a thinning alfalfa stand.
Here small grains, oats, are usually harvested as hay.
We much prefere early fall for us as the time to plant alfalfa. Here a fall planted alfalfa field will persist 2 to 3 years longer than a spring planted field.
Here oats are planted in the fall, cut for hay in March/April or cut for grain in June.
Here weeds are hard on a seedling stand, and we consider small grains to be a weed for most hay purposes.
