Shade was bom and raised on
an Illinois farm near Champaign.
As a youth, he worked with his
father on the family’s dairy farm
and bottling plant, Shadeland

Land Bank from 1940 to 1945.

NEWARK, DE “Alfalfa
plants probably suffer more from
mismanagement in early fall than
at any other time of year,” says
Kent County Extension agent
Rich Barczewski. “Careful man
agement is the key in preparing al
falfa stands for die winter. If cut
just before a killing frost, plants
may not survive the winter.”
According to Barczewski, the
carbohydrates stored in alfalfa
roots and crowns during Septem
ber and October must be at a high
level for successful overwintering.

Cuttings
frost affects alfalfa less than cut
ting before frost, Barczewski says.
However, if a cutting is taken after
frost, he suggests leaving a 6-inch
stubble to catch and hold snow
and to protect crowns and roots
from winter winds.
“You can’t develop a sound
cutting management program
without taking into account the
fertility status of the soil,” adds
Barczewski. “High soil fertility is
necessary to maintain alfalfa
stands under intensive cutting fre
quencies of 30 to 35 days.”
