With the release of non-dormantAFX 1060 during fall 2015 in Arizona and the Imperial Valley of California, all U.S. alfalfa growers now haveaccess to adapted, conventionally bred low lignin alfalfa varieties for 2016 planting.Hi-Gest Low Lignin Alfalfa Technology was introduced during the 2014 World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.,and more than 10,000 acres of the Hi-Gest 360, Hi-Gest 660, and AFX 1060 varieties were planted acrossthe United States during the 2015 planting season. “These early adaptors were the first to see theadvantages of lower lignin alfalfa and how it improves animal intake, rate of digestion, and increased milkproduction,” explains Alforex Seeds General Manager Ron Cornish. “The on-farm performance of Hi-Gesthas exceeded our expectations, and we are now gearing up to meet the demands of commercial growersand dairymen across the country. Ample supplies of our dormant Hi-Gest 360, semi-dormant Hi-Gest 660and non-dormant AFX 1060 are available for 2016 planting. Plus we are launching AFX 960 with Hi-GestTechnology later this fall.”To keep up with grower interest and to explain the benefits of the patent pending Hi-Gest Low LigninAlfalfa in the ration of the Southwest’s 2.3 million dairy cows, Alforex Seeds has appointed two full-timedistrict sales managers in the Southwestern United States. Dwight Tuttle, a forage seed professional, willmanage the Alforex distribution network in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. He relocated from theMidwest where he actively participated in the 2015 Hi-Gest product launch. Dawn Klawitter will managethe Alforex distribution network in California and Nevada, and is very familiar with new seed echnologyintroductions. Both Klawitter and Tuttle reside in their territories.Don Miller, PhD, who has background in alfalfa breeding and agronomy, will now be focused full time onproduct support for Alforex Seeds. Miller is a member of the Hi-Gest Technology launch team, is an industryexpert on salinity and nematodes, and continues as the product specialist. “I have seen AFX 1060 in thefield this spring, and it looks great.
