I have tried the folular fertilizers in the past, alfalfa mainly, they only seem to work on leafy high dollar plants like tobacco and some vegetables. I did not get a positive yield response. Just made the plants look greener but did not translate into higher tonnage or quality. In hay and others they don't seem to pan out because you are not getting very much product to the plants root system. No matter what the "salesmen" tell you the roots are the heart of your plants.
Here is what I have been using on my alfalfa/grass hay ground for several years. I apply it just as soon as the ground is solid in the spring.
50# 18-46-0 50# 0-0-60 100# 34-0-0 total 200# per acre

This is going to cost me $85 per acre this year. I usually get about 6-7 tons of hay per acre.
