Atlanta, Indiana – During the 2019 World Forage Analysis Superbowl at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisc., Beck’s CavalryDQ Alfalfa earned second-place honors in the dairy hay category and fifth place in the commercial hay category.

“Alfalfa is an important crop to many of our growers’ operations,” said Scott Beck, president of Beck’s. “With more than 25 years of experience in the forage seed industry, we look forward to bringing our high-quality alfalfa to more farmers across the Midwest.”

Beck’s CavalryDQ alfalfa was bred exclusively for producing outstanding yields while providing excellent Relative Forage Quality (RFQ) and has proven itself year in and year out for Beck’s growers. CavalryDQ alfalfa also carries multi-leaf expression, and with its improved digestibility will produce more milk per acre. The samples were submitted by Beck’s customers, Reimer Dairy (dairy hay) of Capron, Ill., and Peterson Farms (commercial hay) of Clinton, Wisc.

“Our product offering has grown over the years to fit the needs of both the dairy industry and the hay market,” said Ryan Moore, Beck’s Small Seed Product Manager. “It is an honor to receive this recognition, and we want to extend a thank you to Reimer Dairy and Peterson Farms for submitting samples.”

Producers enter their highest quality forages in The World Forage Analysis Superbowl, which includes eight categories. This year marked the 36th year of the Superbowl. More information on the Superbowl can be found at https://worlddairyexpo.com/pages/World-Forage-Analysis-Superbowl.php.
