A Leading Partnership in the Industry
The Washington State Hay Growers Association and Washington State University have partnered together over the last 20 years to bring our growers variety trials of alfalfa seed that grows best in our unique region.
The goal of the WSHGA-WSU alfalfa variety testing project is to identify varieties for growers that are adapted to the Columbia Basin region that will tolerate both biotic (pests) and abiotic (environmental) stresses. Three conventional trials are conducted at the WSU Othello Research Farm in Othello, WA, while three conventional and three Roundup Ready (RR) trials are conducted at the WSU Pasco Research Farm in Pasco, WA.
