Alfalfa-Based Mix

Description

Alfalfa-Based Mix is a versatile and reliable pasture blend specifically crafted for hay production where a grass component is desired. This mix comprises 70% FF 42.A2 Alfalfa, 15% Red Carpet XL Red Clover, 15% Top Tim XL Timothy, making it ideal for high-quality forage environments. Its balanced composition ensures excellent nutritional value and palatability for livestock. This mix thrives best in well-drained soils with a pH range of 7.0 to 7.5, but it is also resilient enough for clover to succeed in poorly drained conditions. With sound management practices, the Alfalfa-Based Mix can persist for 3 to 5 years, providing consistent forage production throughout its lifespan.
