Atlantic alfalfa leads but seed limits dictate choices
In Missouri tests near Sikeston Atlantic alfalfa tops producers though seed supply is tight. Nebraska or Kansas Common are solid second choices. Oklahoma seed is satisfactory for approved stock, wilt issues arise on long-grown land, and Wilt-resistant Range or Buffalo varieties may outperform Atlantic on diseased land. Suggestions include using University circular 509 for drought-damaged corn silos and starting poultry record keeping to assess profitability.
