CROPLAN Forage and Alfalfa Specialist Jeff Jackson says alfalfa weevils are starting to fizzle out but scouting before cutting is recommended. “There are a few farmers that are getting really close or starting on a second crop alfalfa. If they hit the window right, a lot of those guys that were on the front side are set up nicely for a second crop that looks good.” The quality of the first cutting depended on the cutting timing. “The guys that got behind the curve trying to wait for dry weather or got cut late got less quality. The overall quality is better than expected with some of the field conditions that we had.”
