Alfalfa
Specifically bred for Midwest farms, delivering Midwest can-do
Our alfalfa breeding program began in 2000 and develops exceptional varieties proven to perform in university yield trials.
“Legacy alfalfa is as a consistent hay as we’ve ever used. Four–five year stands that continue to bring tonnage and quality. We wouldn’t have used it for 10 years if it weren’t.”
Josh Silverthorn, Silver-Shea Holsteins, Omro, WI
