The HD Difference

The HD on Viking 372HD and Viking 370HD alfalfa stands for Highly Digestible . We don ’ t give the HD designation to an alfalfa variety until it has been tested ( in cows !) and proven to have outstanding digestibility . When you combine this digestibility with best-in-class yield potential ( check the chart !) you get more milk per acre .
It is that simple !
