BIG CLOVER..
Plant Morßed.
Morßed Red Clover possesses the qualities that lead toward a
top yielding, short rotation hay and grazing legume.
Combined resistance to both Northern and Southern
Anthracnose
Northern and southern anthracnose can kill or greatly reduce the stand life of red clover
High resistance to powdery mildew
Contributes to early fade-out and reduces feed quality
Higher yield potential than Kenland or Kenstar
In 5 years of testing. Morßed
outyielded Kenland by 4%
% %
i i
At $lOO per ton for hay that s $lB 00 per year per acre more for Morßed
Improved winterhardiness
The tougher a variety the better chance the crop has to produce throughout its expected
rotation
Vigorous growth and quick recovery
The higher the disease resistance the better the chance for the crop to fully express its potential
Seeding versatility
Morßed Red Clover is ideal for No-till pasture and meadow seedmgs in old grass stands Alone
tor hay and pasture Morßed can also be seeded in standing small gram or on an early prepared
seed bed alone Morßed can be mixed seeded with grasses and small grains as part of a rota
tion or seeded in combination with other legumes—especially white clover along with grasses
for hay and pasture Farmers find that when used as part of a rotation red clover is helpful in
building the nitrogen level for the gram fraction of the rotation

Olympic Alfalfa’s high resistance to disease and overall hardiness
has made Olympic a preferred variety among growers seeking
high alfalfa yields.
Proven high yields over a wide area
Olympic Alfalfa has produced over 10 tons/acre in several trials
High resistance to anthracnose
Anfhracnose is a hidden blight in alfalfa that’s a threat wherever warm, humid conditions persist
during the growing season It can reduce forage yields by as much as two tons per acre per
year Olympic Alfalfa’s resistance to this yield stealer is as good as any variety needs to be in
any environment
Excellent overall disease and insect protection
Bacterial
Wilt
Anthracnose
Moderate winterhardiness
For it s primary area of adaptation Olympic Alfalfa s winterhardiness is fully adequate
Fast growth; early maturity
