August may not be a traditional planting month, but it’s a crucial time for growers looking to establish alfalfa or prepare for fall crops. For most of our trade territory, alfalfa should be seeded by August 30, ideally 6–8 weeks before the first killing frost to ensure strong root and top growth before winter. After September 1, success rates drop significantly.
It’s also time to place your fall rye and winter wheat orders. Securing preferred varieties early helps ensure availability. Contact your agronomist or local agronomy center to get started.
