The National Alfalfa and Forage Alliance has launched Regeneration Nation to highlight the importance of alfalfa, the nation’s third most valuable field crop.
Beth Nelson, president of the alliance, says the crop can help farmers build soil health.
“It’s the ultimate regenerative crop and increases biodiversity and enhances ecosystems, it can help the overall return on investment, and strengthen farmer’s environmental footprint,” she says.
She says alfalfa also provides more protein per acre than row crops for dairy rations and helps support milk production.
