Cimarron
“Our Cimarron gets off to a fast start and that's
why I think it yields like it does We cut every 35 to
40 days which gave us 4 cuttings this year We
could have cut a fifth time but we didn’t need the
feed because our first four cuttings of Cimarron
yielded so well ”
That's .Mike Mowrer of Mowrer Farms Spring
City Pa talking Mowrer Farms is a top notch
Chester County Dairy Operation
Mike comments further about his experiences
“Cimarron has a high percentage of leaves and is a
finer stemmed variety for us But the big reason we
plant Cimarron is high alfalfa yields ”
Look for Mowrer Farms and other top alfalfa
growers' Cimarron yields in the Pa Alfalfa Growers
Program Results to be released soon
