“We planted L-457HD in the spring of 2020 and by June 30 we took off first crop. It came out of the ground fast and thick and grew quickly. It is now regrowing very fast and we expect two more cuttings this year! L-457HD+ has very fine stems and it is very palatable for our cattle. We are very happy with all of the Legacy Seeds products on our farm as our yields have increased on all crops by using Legacy.”
