When Harold and Norman Davis entered the
1980 State Alfalfa Growers Program, they
knew the competition would be tough, that
it would take a lot to win first place. A lot of
yield... pounds of protein... and TDN
produced over the entire growing season.
That meant careful planning, proper
management and a little luck with the
weather. Plus the best alfalfa stand on their
entire dairy operation.
The Davis brothers' choice to win? A two
year old field of Apollo, the alfalfa variety
bred to beat Phytophthora root rot ("wet
foot” disease) and deliver high yields of
consistently top quality hay.
The result: Apollo yielded B.6~tons per
acre, with 3,410 pounds of protein and 9,765
pounds of TDN.
And Harold and Norman Davis won first
place to become Pennsylvania's 1980 State
Champion alfalfa growers.
