An agronomist says the lack of snow cover and recent cold temperatures might lead to some alfalfa winterkill. Matthew Oehmichan with Short Lane Ag Supply in Colby, Wisconsin says, “We’ve had quite a bit of ice build-up on some of those fields, so I am a little bit worried about what those are going to look like.”
But, Oehmichan tells Brownfield farmers can have an alfalfa field that looks totally dead come back to life, so don’t be in a hurry to give up on the field after the snow melts.
