Alberta Alfalfa Hay is considered to be one of the most palatable and nutritious of hays. Rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, alfalfa hay is one of the chief components of dairy cattle feed, as well as serving as an important dietary ration for milking goats, beef cattle, sheep and horses. Aside from the nutritional advantages that it provides for ruminants and a variety of equine species, alfalfa is also an indirect source for honey as bees gather a substantial amount of nectar from alfalfa flowers. (<a title=\"Alfalfa Hay\" href=\"http:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/environmental\/life\/botany\/alfalfa-info.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alfalfa<\/a>) &nbsp;This high-yielding cultivar also has a great ability to improve soil quality and provide weed control for ensuing crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plant itself is a bushy perennial legume which grows to a height of 60-100 cm. Its leaves consist of 3 leaflets which can range in shape from almost round to lanceolate. The stems are slender and may be either hollow or solid. Flowers grow in clusters of 10-20 and the florets are usually blue or purple, white or yellow, occasionally bronze and green and may be variegated with shades of blue and green. <em>(Goplen, 1987)<\/em> Seed pods are slightly downy and vary from kidney or sickle shaped to single, double or triple-coiled in appearance; however \u201cthe sickle pod has been almost eliminated by selection because it contains few seeds and shatters easily\u201d. <em>(Goplen et al., 1987, p.6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The roots of the alfalfa plant are of four types: tap, branch, rhizomatious and creeping. The majority of roots probably penetrate most soils to a depth of about 2 m. <em>(Fulkerson)<\/em> Taproots typically penetrate \u201cfrom 7 to 9 m, but roots have been observed 39 m deep in a mine beneath an alfalfa field\u201d.<em> (Sheaffer &amp; Evers, 2007, p. 182)<\/em> \u201cDepending on the length of the growing season and maturity at harvest, alfalfa will have from 2 to 10 regrowth cycles\u201d. <em>(Sheaffer &amp; Evers, 2007, p.182)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barr-ag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canadian-hay-truck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/barr-ag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canadian-hay-truck.jpg\" alt=\"Canadian Alfalfa Hay\" class=\"wp-image-468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barr-ag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canadian-hay-truck.jpg 800w, https:\/\/barr-ag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canadian-hay-truck-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/barr-ag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canadian-hay-truck-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/barr-ag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Canadian-hay-truck-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of the distinctive characteristics of alfalfa is its ability to tap into the nitrogen supply in the air. It does this through an especially unique symbiotic relationship with a particular type of soil bacteria. These bacteria produce nodules on the root that convert nitrogen in the air into a form that is readily used by the plant- a process called \u201cnitrogen fixation\u201d. Soil acidity directly affects the growth and survival of these bacteria and can be a significant impediment to high alfalfa yields. Saline soil conditions also deter productivity because salinity adversely affects seed germination and also prevents roots from taking in water and essential nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At Barr-Ag, we take up to three cuts of the early maturing varieties of Alberta Alfalfa Hay from our irrigated farms<\/strong>.
