Cornell alfalfa and corn varieties dominate New York farming
New York farmers rapidly accept Cornell bred alfalfa varieties Saranac Mark II and Iroquois which now account for about 40 percent of the state's alfalfa seed market and over 90 percent of 1.2 million acres. Iroquois, introduced this Spring, nears a major role while Orbit leads in seed volume. Corn hybrids mature early with high yields and silage quality, with 1967 seed supplies sold out. Certified seed usage exceeds 90 percent.
