Last spring I bought 60 lbs. of Montana Certi- 
fied Grimm Alfalfa from your company. I seeded 
it on five acres. This summer I harvested eighteen 
big loads from first and second crop. I could 
have had about four. more loads if I had cut the 
third crop. I have never seen a better field of 
Alfalfa.. I might mention that I bought seed 
from your company thirty years ago.
