Plan No. 624. Pastures Alfalfa
This farmer makes a good living on his small farm. Profit based on prices before the war.
“I have thirty-five acres of alfalfa from one to five years old. I cut two crops of hay each year, yielding from 21⁄2 to 3 tons per acre, and in addition pasture the third crop. I can sell all the hay I can raise at from $9 to $10 a ton unbaled. At this rate it is bringing big returns on $75 to $100 per acre land.”
