🌿 When forage quality improves, animal performance follows.

That’s the idea behind Hi-Gest® alfalfa.

Hi‑Gest is bred with one clear goal: more usable nutrition per bite. Through advanced conventional breeding, Hi‑Gest alfalfa delivers improved fiber digestibility that supports higher intake—helping convert forage into more milk in the tank or more pounds on the rail.

Here’s what sets Hi‑Gest® apart:

✅ More digestible fiber, so animals get more value from every mouthful
✅ Higher leaf‑to‑stem ratio, driving better protein availability and forage quality
✅ Added harvest flexibility, allowing growers to delay cutting and capture more tonnage without sacrificing feed value
✅ Built for performance, balancing yield, quality, and consistency across the season
Whether your focus is feed efficiency, harvest timing, or maximizing return from your forage acres, Hi‑Gest® alfalfa gives you options—without compromise.

This , we’re celebrating the power of cover crops. 🌍🌱

🌱 Strong stands start with strong agronomics.
That’s what the Forage First® 5 Series is built on—and 54VQ56 is a clear example.
Developed for growers who demand consistency across variable conditions, 5 Series alfalfas focus on stand persistence, disease protection, and season long yield stability—not just one cut performance.
Why 5 Series agronomics matter in 54VQ56:
✅ Fall Dormancy 4 - High yielding, winter hardy “muscle” variety
✅ Excellent stand persistence cut after cut, year after year
✅ Very strong disease and pest resistance allows for broad adaptation
✅ Adaptable across many management systems, fitting 3–5 cut programs with confidence
If your priority is keeping stands healthy, uniform, and productive from establishment through full stand life, 5 Series agronomics delivers where it counts—in the field.
