(I was very impressed with the yield even with no rain in August.)

“The re-growth was phenomenal on the Attention Alfalfa; it was hard to believe that it could grow back that fast, even in the drought it never stopped growing. I’ve never seen a prettier alfalfa field. The Attention was fine stemmed, soft, and dark green. The neighbors were impressed and asked me what kind of alfalfa I planted. I used to plant Pioneer and could never get more than 3 crops. With the Attention I got 4 crops and I could have taken a 5th crop in late September. The feed test proves it has excellent quality over Pioneer 5454.”

“I custom baled Duane Hunt’s alfalfa for him. It was the best yielding 3rd crop hay I made in 2003 out of 20+ customers. I ordered some myself.”
-Duane Elgin, Manchester, Iowa
