I had the pleasure of being a soil and fertilizer analyst in the midwest U.S. for about 4 years and had 300 farms on a soil nutrient and fertilizer and chemical program. Most criticaL is the soil acidity level being maintained at between 6.7 to 7.0 for most legumes. We usually spread no more than 2 ton of lime to the acre at any one application'and was based on a good through soil sample taken with a good soil probe. Then after the first and second crop was taken off we put on 100 lbs of 0-0-61 potash to the acre and we had hay tonnage that was near the top of the chart for both tonnage and protein. Potassium is mostly what legumes and corn cut for silage need to replace whats taken out. Hope this helps. Migraine
