Profile
Revolution MD (sold as L-447 HD in USA) was Grand Champion in the haylage division at the World Dairy Expo’s World Forage Analysis Superbowl in Wisconsin. It was also GRAND Champion in the ‘Quality Counts’ Division for fastest rate of Digestibility of all Hay/Haylage entered.
This is a revolutionary non-GMO alfalfa bred with the goal of maximum digestibility and RFQ. It has exceptional forage quality, even during periods of delayed harvest. This is our first alfalfa to carry our MD (Max-Digest) designation. This high performance alfalfa is for producers requesting increased forage digestibility to increase milk and beef yields.
-
High RFQ (Relative Forage Quality) rating and rate of digestion
-
Large leaf area with an increased leaf to stem ratio
-
Outstanding disease and pest resistance package
-
Excellent winter hardiness combined with high yield potential
