Probably the best thing to do would be to ask the farmer who is going to bale it, if he"s going to take it might as well plant something he wants/needs. I"m in southeastern PA and I have a field of orchard grass and clover mix which was recommended by Penn State for a pasture, I just haven"t fenced all of it in yet. It makes nice hay when I get it but the problem is it comes in early and the weather is always an issue, last year part of my first cutting was rained on and the other part I had to cut too late in order to get a good weather window. My other field is Timothy nad it is a nice hay and preferred by the horse people. It is baled much later but you only get one cutting. Either one of these it is the wrong time to plant, you will have too much competition from the weeds. You want to plant in the late summer. Alfalfa is nice but not sure if you want the expense and unless you"re ready to plant now it is getting too late to get it in the ground, at least in my area, you may be a few weeks behind me depending on how far north you are. Not adding lime is going to hurt the yields so keep that in mind, not sure what kind of arrangement you have worked out with your neighbor.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
