Cossack Alfalfa Tops Tests On Northeast Iowa Plots
Hardy alfalfa from known origin produced the highest yield in second crop tests on the Debes farm near Farmersburg. Cossack yielded 6316 pounds per acre, ahead of Oklahoma and Nebraska varieties, while Argentina alfalfa lagged at 1089 pounds. Epley notes hardy legumes conserve soil, yield high nitrogen hay, and live longer, reducing costs. Experiments were conducted by McGregor soil conservation staff with Four-County cooperation.
