“With a cow herd of more than 500 head and a feedlot that finishes about 1,500 animals per year, yield and quality are important. However, I’ve been very satisfied with the AmeriStand 407TQ. It came in with a very good stand after I solid seeded it on a dryland field with potash and phosphorous. In fact, I chopped the first cutting as haylage and got about 7 ½ tons per acre. On the second cutting, the field yielded about 144 big round bales that were in the range of 1,500 pounds each. I’ve already purchased another 16 bags for the spring of 2009.” -- Tom Wettlaufer of Winfred, South Dakota, 300 acres of alfalfa (60 acres of America’s Alfalfa with another 60 acres planned for 2009) and an America’s Alfalfa grower for one year.
