While i understand that there may not be many people in your area competent in advising for dry land production, i would caution you to relying too much on recc's from those too far away from your growing area. There are several characteristics of a variety that will make it work very well in one area, but will cause it to flop in another. Product placement is key to top production, and when dealing with an investment type crop such as alfalfa, i suggest that you do your best to make sure what you start with is a quality product. I have worked w/ the America's brand of alfalfa's and like the 403T very much--in Missouri and IA, I could not make any judgement as to what it would do in Oregon. depending on your winter conditions, it may turn into a very expensive annual legume.

moral of the story: if the people you are talking to now are not competent in giving dryland recc's, contact a company directly (America, Mycogen, et. al) or talk to more people near you. just a thought
