of 30/30 and high multifoliate leaf expression for improved forage quality. Whether it's for great forage yields, superior forage quality,
or very fast recovery after cutting, 428RR alfalfa is the choice for commercial hay, beef and dairy producers who want to take advantage of
Genuity Roundup Ready technology
