May depend somewhat on where you are. I certainly agree with the other posts about the problems with annual weeds in a new seeding. I budget to get 0 harvestable hay the first year off a new seeding of anything. With that said timothy particularly is almost never seeded here in the spring. As we are outside the recommended area it just doesnt do well most years unless fall seeded. Orchardgrass is also much better suited to fall planting here. They both spread too slowly to compete with the spring and summer weeds, may experience a total stand failure (been there more than once).
