ORGANIC ALFALFA

Alfalfa is a deep-rooted, long-lived perennial with wide adaptation. Alfalfa has the highest yield potential of the perennial forage crops. Yields in excess of 8 tons of dry matter and 4 tons of total digestible nutrients per acre have been obtained regularly. No other perennial crop is equal to alfalfa as feed for livestock, as a cash crop, or as an energy-efficient crop on soils where alfalfa is adapted. Alfalfa can be used as a cover crop and tilled under, or as a high protein forage. It's deep roots can help break up hard pan clay soil.

DIRT WORKS Links for Organic and Non-GMO Seed

Please include complete delivery address and phone number in your e-mail if you're writing for a shipping quote on large orders of forage and grain seed. If you don't see the variety you want, call. We have a long list of organic seed available that is too numerous to list. The varieties shown in the web site are those I believe will fit most any requirement, but, I know there are nitch environments and special needs out there.

When ordering seed, plan as far ahead as possible and know as much about the seed you wish to buy before you order it. Each farm has different soil, climates and equipment constraints, and you know best what you need. If you don't, call us and we'll help you make a selection to to the best of our ability. Thanks, John

  • Some organic grains are in short supply now due to a few emerging problems. The biofuels industry is competing with land otherwise used for planting of food crops.
  • Emerging markets in Africa and Asia are putting s strain on supply and crop failures of already scarce crops are a problem too.
  • GMO crops are contaminating some farmer's lands and the corporations are tying them up in court preventing them from producing new seed. Download By Clicking Here

Whenever possible we are substituting non-GMO, untreated conventional seeds on our pages where you would ordinarily find organic seed.
