See the Difference with Croplan Alfalfa.

CROPLAN AA varieties show stronger roots, healthier plants, higher yield, and increased stand persistence potential over the life of a stand.

New CROPLANAA varieties offer Aphanomyces race 1, race 2, and Enhanced Multi-Race (EMR) resistance + Anthracnose all races (including race 5) resistance: HVX MegaTron AA and HVX MegaTron, RR AphaTron AA and RR AphaTron 2XT, Rebound AA, GUNNER AA, and LegenDairy AA. AA varieties provide significant improvement in both yield and quality potential due to:

Stronger roots leading to bigger plants which can uptake more water and nutrients. This all leads to increased yield potential and increased stand persistence potential all of which lead to an increased net return per acre for the grower

Feed costs remain one of the largest contributors to overall expenses, and even small miscalculations can result in unplanned purchases before the next harvest. Key elements of effective forage management include proactive planning, understanding shrink and waste, accurately estimating animal numbers, and feeding consistent dry matter amounts.
