Small Field

I have a small alfalfa field. It is an old field. The alfalfa population is quite low and Has dandelions. I have gotten half the yield I should be getting for my area.

I have a small frock of goats that I feed the hay to. I have enough pasture so I do not need to graze it.

I make the hay for winter feed and sell enough to pay for part of the expenses.

The field is 1.1 acres. My brother bales my hay for me when he makes his. It isn’t really practical to have my own equipment or to break this up into smaller pieces. I do have a small broadcast seeder and a drag that i could use cover it lightly.

Are there any ideas of what I could overseed into the existing stand? If I terminate the alfalfa stand is there a cash crop before going back to hay? I’m in NE Iowa if that makes a difference.

One thing I’m interested in learning more about stockpiling forage on pasture. Is this possible with goats? where can I get more information on this concept?

Thank you
