California is an important producer of milk and dairy products, and alfalfa is a critical part of a cow’s diet! Alfalfa is a perennial crop, meaning that once planted, farmers can harvest it several times for a number of years.

Farmers in southern California, where it remains sufficiently warm, can harvest alfalfa 12 months out of the year!
