Views of AlfaGraze 300RR planted in April 2006.  Roundup was sprayed to suppress grass competition just after the alfalfa seedlings began to grow. By July the alfalfa was well established and was grazed for about six weeks then allowed to rest.  Grazing was scheduled to restart in mid November.  Freezing temperatures stopped bermudagrass growth and the alfalfa is allowed to grow longer into the fall or winter.  As bermudagrass regrows during the next spring it will encroach into the alfalfa but can be suppressed again with Roundup as needed to maintain a mixture of grass and legume.
