Howdy,

I had that same issue today in a little section of my hayfield that had light fescue. I would go ahead and add some other types of grass to it. It's really your choice but I'd suggest timothy as it will only give you one or two good cuttings unlike alfalfa, which may keep you busier than a hobby hayfield is intended. Sowing now is alright but don't wait too late or your field won't have a chance to get a good stand before killing frost sets in. I have neighbors who sow alfalfa in the fall here in S. ohio and they say they get better results than spring sowing. I haven't tried it myself but I'm also trying to get away from alfalfa right now (until I can get a good disc bine...sickle cutting and the high humidity down here just don't mix with alfalfa). God bless.
