Some background information on alfalfa is given. It was concluded that the 3 cut management system yielded less than did the 2 cut system average over alfalfa cutting heights. But, the 3 cut system produced a higher quality forage. The 3 cut system was the most consistent whereas the 2 cut system might work best in a reduced management system.North Dakota State UniversityArticle
