Has higher quality than triticale or wheat if cut before boot stage.
Is actually a better feed than alfalfa. Has more digestible fiber and sugars.
Does not head out until approximately May 12. Cut your alfalfa & GREEN SPIRIT first week of May and the
GREEN SPIRIT will be ready again 3 weeks later. Yes, that's 2 cuttings and still time to plant corn.
So if you have moisture in the ground, no-till GREEN SPIRIT into your worn out alfalfa fields after 3rd cutting
and still get a good cutting or two this fall, and lots of tonnage next spring.
