  Andre Bonneau, Forge Conversion Specialist for Saskatchewan's Ministry of Agriculture says when seeding in the fall, producers are not as concerned about moisture conditions.
  
  "Often you'll find the soil is relatively dry and the soil is often quite ready to accept the seed. It seems to be easier especially if moisture seems to be the reason that you want to seed in the fall weather. The land is too wet in the spring, or too dry in the spring".
  
  Bonneau adds it is important to make sure the seed is packed in so it is protected.
  
  According to Bonneau, some plants do not do well if seeded in the fall and hesays producers should seed late enough in the fall so the seeds do not germinate. Bonneau also adds Russian Wild Rye does better if seeded in the fall rather than the spring.

  "The season usually starts with the standing crops that are for sale," said Andre Bonneau, a Forage Conversion Specialist with SAF."I'm getting the sense this year that there is more interest in putting up custom grazing listings."
  
  The listing contains interactive maps that enable users to see, by rural municipality, where there are postings for available baled forage, standing forage, feed grain and various custom services.A complete listing for the entire province is also accessible.
  
  "The nice thing about it is you can look at the whole province and compare prices," Bonneau stated.

  Andre Bonneau, Forage Conversion Specialist with the Ag Knowledge Centre says choosing the right time to take off the second cut is important.
  
  "Every Alfalfa crop should go to flower at least once a year. So if you're taking two cuts of Alfalfa if the first cut got into 10, 20 or 30 percent flowering the second cut will look that much better because of the carbohydrate storage that happened at the first cut".
  
  Bonneau says farmers should figure out if there is enough time for the Alfalfa to recover from the second cut before taking it off. "When the rains did come the Alfalfa didn't really come off until mid to late July in some cases and of course it rained quite a bit back then. A lot of the hay either came off rained on quite a bit or it came off fairly late and it was in full flower".
  
  Bonneau says the first cut was strange compared to normal years, as it was fairly dry and cool for most of the spring.
