Back on the farm in Kansas we found that planting alfalfa after wheat was by far the best method. You really do have a nurse crop because of the volunteer wheat. The first crop the next year would be about 1/3 alfalfa and 2/3 wheat which made a really good feed. The rest of the hay crops that year seemed to be as good as established alfalfa. But we never tried planting into the standing stubble. We always worked the ground to make a good seedbed and planted the middle of August and I think we usually baled the straw so as to not to deal with it. We used 4 lb to the acre of seed and I would think that if you
seeded into the stubble you would need a much higher rate. It always worked for us which
I never could say when we planted in the spring.
