Alfalfa

(Medicago sativa L.)

Alfalfa is a growing culture that normally follows and precedes wheat. It is precisely for this reason that it is called the “queen of forage”. Harvesting hay must be done with a great deal of care to prevent the leaves, which are the most valuable part, from being manipulated too dry.

Purposes
Alfalfa is used in green or hay foraging, ensiling is not widespread.
