To Jump-Start Your Alfalfa
Production, Hunk Custom Farm Seed
break-thru®.
break-thru® was introduced to the serious alfalfa producer 3 years ago as the
first winter-hardy alfalfa variety combining rapid emergence, fast re-growth, high
feed value and outstanding overall performance with exceptional resistance to
major pests and diseases.
3-years later, there's still nothing better. Prove it, you say...
CFS break-thru placed first in "Average Alfalfa Yield In Tons Dry Matter
Per Acre" at the Marshfield, W11991,3-cut trial. 81 alfalfa varieties were entered.
In Michigan, break-thru took top place in the 1990 "Relative Feed Value Test"
in the "Michigan Alfalfa Variety Testing Program," MSU, Lake City, MI.
And its area of adaptability extends through Pennsylvania and into New England.
PARS, Inc. markets Custom Farm Seed throughout the Eastern United States. In
addition to break-thru alfalfa, count on PARS for a complete line of CFS seed,
including hybrid seed com, soybeans and waxy com hybrids.
