Late plantings are like to suffer drought stress and suffer poor emergence. In the warmer climates, seeding in early September can be accomplished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are planting later in the year, it is best to drill alfalfa since the seed has a high water requirment for germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hunt Ready Farms ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47637884141722,"sku":null,"price":239.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/8633\/5386\/files\/342B38C8-DE70-432C-92AD-950F7677AE2F.jpg?v=1707519071","url":"https:\/\/huntreadyfarms.com\/products\/alfalfa","provider":"Hunt Ready Farms ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
