Penn State agronomist James L Starling, at the 13th annual Seed Conference, notes alfalfa timothy and red clover dominate Pennsylvania forage crops for five years. Seed sales rise from 8.6 million pounds in 1954 to over 12 million in 1958 with shifts to commercial seed and renovated pastures. Alfalfa leads seed volume with Buffalo and Ranger waning as Vernal and DuPuit grow. Pennscott red clover rises from 15 percent to 40 percent of red clover sales by 1958, expected to reach half by 1959. Timothy remains mainly the common type, with Climax recommended.
