Since fanning in Alaska first began and especially
since dairy farming became the primary agricultural
industry, there has existed a need for
hardy legumes which would survive Alaska winters
and produce satisfactory yields of high quality
forage. To meet this need hundreds of legume
species and strains have been introduced during
the past 40 or more years. Almost all have lacked
the necessary hardiness or have not been satisfactory
agronomically. The release of Alaskland
red clover in the spring of 1953 is the first time
a hardy legume has been made available to
growers in Alaska.Cooperating with the United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Administratio
