  1. I planted wheat into a field that was established alfalfa. I am now cutting the wheat. I might graze the stubble in a week or two. Will the alfalfa be a big risk of bloat? I will use precautions, like when I graze alfalfa. If I broadcast turnips into the stubble before grazing the cattle, would the cattle trample the turnips enough to let them begin to grow?
