Stacking the deck: Why yield no longer comes at quality’s expense with HarvXtra® Alfalfa

Growers have long faced a frustrating tradeoff when it comes to alfalfa: cut early for quality or wait for more yield. But what if you didn’t have to choose? In this FastChat, we are joined by a longtime researcher and product manager, Dave Witte from Forage Genetics International, to explore how tools like HarvXtra® Alfalfa are helping shift the curve on this decades-old dilemma. From advances in trait technology to practical examples from the field, we will look at how growers are achieving stronger yields without sacrificing the high-quality forage their dairy customer's demand.
