Extract

Leguminous crops for hay, seed, pasture or soil improvement occupy a large portion of the total crop acreage. Plantings of legumes, particularly alfalfa, are often maintained long after production has dropped below an economic level. The reason may be reluctance of farmers to attempt establishment of new stands. In areas where fall seeding is possible but where mosture is often scant, spring seedings with the attendant hazard of annual weeds, must be relied upon for establishment of new stands.
