Few alfalfa varieties provide the distinct advantages of 50 Caliber and 372HY available from Renze Seeds in Iowa and Nebraska, along with bordering counties in adjacent states.

“Renze Seeds places the same emphasis on quality and performance on our alfalfa choices we do with seed corn and soybeans,” remarked Craig Williams, general manager. “We took great care to select two varieties able to out yield previous choices.”

Renze’s 50 Caliber carries the sunken crown trait which helps insulate the crown in severe winter weather and protects the crown from both wheel traffic and animal hoof damage. 50 Caliber replaces 30-06, a favorite in the Renze lineup, as the decidedly superior variety.

50 Caliber alfalfa has exceptional forage quality capabilities along with excellent disease, insect, and nematode resistance characteristics. With upright growth and superior plant uniformity, this alfalfa variety offers distinct advantages for the livestock producer including dependability of forage and excellent quality.

In addition to 50 Caliber, Renze Seeds also offers 372HY using the msSunstra Hybrid Alfalfa technology. Known for its aggressive, high forage yielding, high quality features, it also features a fine stem. As stands of 372HY mature, forage yield and persistence advantages become more pronounced.

Hybrid alfalfa offers many of the same advantages of other hybrid seeds. In several university trials in the Midwest, 372HY was first or tied statistically for first in yield with competitors. Combined with its excellent disease resistance and uniformity, 372HY will please the most discerning grower.

For the livestock producer looking for opportunities to make the most of every acre of alfalfa production, Renze Seeds offers two outstanding varieties in 50 Caliber and 372HY for fall seeding.
