I would: 1. Get a soil test (tell them you plan on sowing alfalfa so they give you those recommendations) 2. Follow the lime and fertilizer recommendations 3. Plant about 15 lbs of alfalfa per acre. 4. Orchard Grass works well in my area for a grass mix.....Iowa 5. Have at least a five year contract and if he cancels/breaks it, he pays for seed, fuel, and the rest of your expenses to establish the stand. (you will need 5 to make some decent money) 6. Horses in your area? More grass needed in the mix. (Horse owners are a PITA to sell to)
Good alfalfa, (for 4 year stand) will cost around $300 per 50 lb bag. A bag will do a bit more than 3 acres at 15 lb per ac. This means that you will have around $2000 in the alfalfa seed. Orchard grass and oats are not too expensive but don't know about the cost lime in your area. Hopefully, you wont need to lime.
