At least 156 alfalfa farmers in the San Luis valley will be registered by the Alfalfa Product System to improve communication and facilitate product information. The valley plants approximately 5,200 hectares of alfalfa annually, with each hectare producing around 80 bales in good cuts. However, insurance coverage for alfalfa bales is limited to the planting stage and does not extend to the bales themselves, highlighting the need for separate bale coverage.
