Photograph of Upland alfalfa for soil management, William Widnay farm. Alfalfa is an excellent legume for soil building and cover. Mr. Widney uses alfalfa on upland (III - ?) in his conservation crop rotation. This alfalfa was seeded in the fall of 1952. For a nurse crop, ½ bushel of wheat per acre was cross-drilled in the wide spaced rows (every other row drilled). Wheat made 20 bushels per acre. Utilization of alfalfa has been a spring hay crop, seed crop in the summer and fall pastures. He has another planting of alfalfa and plans to plow this one up in the fall. His plans are for the alfalfa to be in a 3-year rotation. He has been a soil district cooperator since 1948. OK-279-12.
