STEERS 51.00-57.50, Do you hove to sacrifice yield and quality to get winterhardiness? CimarronVß and Belmont varieties stand-up to cold weather and harsh winter conditions without sacrificing yield or quality! These varieties can be harvested earlier in the spring and later in the fall to give higher yields, and a more even distribution of yield over the season. And because they are vigorous, they can be cut more frequently to give softer, leafier hay. Why settle for late-starting, slow-growing, short-season alfalfa. Choose Cimarron VR or Belmont - premium alfalfa varieties that not only provide excellent winterhardiness, yield and quality - but also combined resistance to all the major diseases, insects, and nematodes that attack alfalfa.
