The Alfalfa seed is being planted.  Alfalfa seed is one of most expensive seeds to purchase-$200 a bag.  The seed is very, very tiny, smaller than a mustard seed; so it takes lots of seeds to cover the field. 

Once the seed takes hold, a farmer can get from 3-5 years harvest of hay, but the first year is critical.  We won’t see any harvest this year, except maybe one in the late summer or early fall.
