Conestoga
Alfalfa
Delivers!
Excellent Yields
Long Lasting Stands
Anthracnose Resistance
Just as the Conestoga wagons delivered protection and security
to the early settlers, Conestoga alfalfa delivers important advan
tages to today’s progressive farmer. Hardiness to get through
Northeastern winters. Protection from anthracnose and bacterial
wilt. Security of high yields. Dependability despite intensive alfalfa
management.
The Conestoga wagon earned its place in American history be
cause it delivered what the settlers needed. Conestoga alfalfa fol
lows that tradition. It delivers what alfalfa growers need. So well in
fact, that it outsells all our other five alfalfas by a substantial margin.
