Western Alfalfa
Forty years of
selecting alfalfa
We select from a wide range of genetics. Only the top 10% ever goes in the bag.
The standard
Only the top 10% goes in the bag
Forty years of experience in alfalfa comes down to knowing what to leave out. We evaluate a wide range of genetics and carry forward only the varieties that earn it.
That discipline is the same one that runs through our corn program: more entries, harder screening, fewer survivors — and a product that has already proven itself under western irrigation before a grower ever plants it.
- A wide genetic base evaluated every year.
- Top 10% selection standard — nothing else is bagged.
- Backed by the same western research network behind our corn.
- Placement help from forage specialists who know your cutting schedule.

Forage research 2 Idaho locations · 200 alfalfa and grass replications, at Jerome and Parma.
What we will not do
No numbers we can't stand behind
We publish variety-by-variety detail in the Western Alfalfa product guide, where it can be kept current and tied to the trial year it came from.
Ask your rep for the current guide and they will bring the variety list, the data behind it and a recommendation for your ground and your cutting schedule.
