The Alfalfa Scissor-cut Harvest Alert is updated regularly as alfalfa growth accelerates. The goal of this project is to alert alfalfa growers to start first crop harvest when the crop is at a level of quality that matches animal nutrition goals while maximizing yield potential.
The alfalfa scissor-cut alert program is not a prescription for any particular harvest date but can be a go-to decision tool for those alfalfa producers that are busy managing other crops in the rotation during one of the busiest seasons on the farm.
Extension educators, farmer-cooperators and cooperating agribusinesses work together to collect alfalfa scissor-cut samples from mid-May until final harvest.
