■ 12 years of development and testing by Dr. Joe Bouton at
the University of Georgia prove Alfagraze survives grazing
better than any alfalfa variety. And because Alfagraze
features upright growth, you have the choice to cut it for hay
or graze it.
■ Alfagraze lowers feed costs... . ,
*While grazing our 120-cow dai/y herd on Alfagraze, we reduced our
daily feed costs from $3 a cow to $1.50. Over the next two years we
plan to seed another 50 acres of Alfagraze. "
—Dane Mercer. Dairyman, Sweetwater, TN
■ Alfagraze yields like conventional hay varieties.
■ Alfagraze has exceptional winterhardiness.
■ Alfagraze is very leafy with fine stems.
