For me, the test
of any alfalfa
is how many
pounds of
nutrients per
acre it produces.
I’m as interested as the next guy in
what researchers are doing to improve the
alfalfa varieties on the market today. But
sometimes, I think seed companies forget
that more leaves or better disease
resistance by themselves don’t produce
more milk. The bottom line is pounds of
nutrients per acre.
That’s why I plant Multi-plier alfalfa
from Jacques. Sure it’s a multileaf and
has good winter-hardiness and terrific
disease resistance. But all that says to
me is that Multi-plier has the 1
potential to produce more pounds of 1
nutrients per acre on my farm. 1
I look at my com silage hybrids ]
the same way. So I also plant a lot ; J
of -7970 from Jacques. Yes, it’s big ' V
and leafy and yes, it makes a lot of
grain and fits-my operation. But my
analysis only measures total
digestible nutrients and that’s what
I’m looking for.
I’m open to new alfalfa varieties
and silage com hybrids, but only if
they’ll deliver more pounds of
nutrients per acre than my Jacques'
Multi-plier and 7970.
