Q Means High Quality Alfalfa

The letter "Q" in the name of a Pioneer® brand alfalfa variety indicates it offers improved forage quality characteristics. "Q" varieties meet National Alfalfa Variety Review Board standards for the "high quality" designation. They produce forage significantly higher in Relative Feed Value (RFV) than "check" varieties cut the same day, offering the ideal combination of high-yielding, high-protein hay or silage, with highly digestible fiber. When managed well with timely harvest, Pioneer "Q" varieties help provide the nutrient profile required by the highest producing animals.
