As a reminder, you need to plan ahead to plant alfalfa in regards to herbicide rotation restrictions and soil pH management, so read my blog post from Fall of 2023 at https://croptechcafe.org/plan-ahead-to-plant-alfalfa/. After corn and soybeans, alfalfa is the most grown crop in southeast Nebraska. Based on satellite imagery and crop reflectance, USDA CropScape estimated there was approximately 17,047 acres of alfalfa growing in the summer of 2023 in Gage, Jefferson, and Saline counties. Assuming farmers maintain alfalfa stands for 5 to 7 years, there are about 3,000 new alfalfa acres seeded each year.

The Nebraska Statewide Arboretum (NSA) will host the 2024 Spring Affair Plant Sale on April 25-27 at the Sandhills Global Event Center (formerly the Lancaster Event Center) in Lincoln.
