Bryan, the fall typically is a great time to sow alfalfa....depending upon where you are located. Fall seedings tend to be less weedy and are more productive the following year. You need to have a good seedbed prepared and or use a no-till drill that has the legume seed boxes on it. Alfalfa is too expensive to broadcast on unprepared soil.
