Vernal Alfalfa Seed represents the industry-standard variety developed by the University of Wisconsin in the 1950s for exceptional winter hardiness in northern climates. This perennial legume creates deep-rooted stands that deliver reliable hay production, soil improvement, and livestock nutrition year after year. Pre-inoculated for immediate nitrogen fixation, Vernal Alfalfa establishes quickly and maintains productivity through multiple cuttings per season.

Key Features of Vernal Alfalfa Seed
Additional Information
Farmers seeking reliable nitrogen fixation will find Vernal Alfalfa’s deep root system particularly valuable for breaking up compacted soil layers while adding organic matter. The variety’s resistance to root rot and stem nematode makes it especially suited for lighter soils where other legumes struggle. Plan your seeding timing carefully – spring plantings benefit from nurse crops like oats at reduced rates, while late summer seedings require 4-6 weeks before hard frost to ensure proper root development and winter survival.
