When milk prices are low, dairy producers begin to look for ways to reduce the direct input expenses of growing alfalfa. One option that growers have is to purchase lower cost alfalfa seed.

The seeding rate for soybeans varies considerably from producer to producer. The range is from 100,000 to 300,000 seeds per acre. A major seed company recently recommended planting 200,000 to 230,000 seeds per acre. Research at Iowa State University has shown that a lower seeding rate will give top yields. reduction in seeding rate of 50,000 seeds per acre could reduce seed costs by as much as $8 per acre if the seed cost is $20 per bag and the seed size is 2,500 seeds per pound. The savings per farm could be significant if a large number of acres is planted.
