The crop supports over 4 million livestock units valued at $45 million, fuels dairying, grain farms, and potato ranches, and boosts yields across wheat and specialty crops.

Alfalfa also sustains home fattening of cattle, pork, and poultry, and even enhances honey production, underscoring its pivotal role beyond silver.
