Highly nutritious

Alfalfa, also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae. The name alfalfa is used in North America. The name lucerne is the more commonly used name in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. It is cultivated as an important forage crop in many countries around the world. It is mostly used as hay, but can also be used for grazing and silage.
It has been cultivated as livestock fodder since at least the era of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Alfalfa is a perennial forage legume which normally lives four to eight years, but can live more than 20 years, depending on variety and climate. The plant grows to a height of up to 1 m (3.3 ft), and has a deep root system, sometimes growing to a depth of more than 15 m (49 ft) to reach groundwater. Typically the root system grows to a depth of 2–3 metres depending on subsoil constraints. Owing to deep root system, it helps to improve soil nitrogen fertility and protect from soil erosion. This depth of root system, and perenniality of crowns that store carbohydrates as an energy reserve, make it very resilient, especially to droughts. Alfalfa is more drought-hardy than drought-tolerant and the persistence of the plant also depends on the management of the stand.
Alfalfa usually has the highest feeding value of all common hay crops.

The cut Alfalfa is gathered and bound into bales and stored under a roof to protect the quality of the bales from weathering and rain.
The photo clearly illustrates freshly bound bales with a green appearance in the centre. Bales that have been cut earlier have a beige appearance on the outside.
