'Growing lucerne in cool climates' practice note written by partners from Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) supports strategies for effective lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) production in cool regions.
Successful production of lucerne delivers high yields of protein without the use of fertiliser nitrogen. With care, it can be grown successfully in cool, temperate, oceanic climates when attention is given to establishment and management of the crop.
Lucerne provides a valuable forage.

From PN14 'Growing lucerne in cool climates'
I read the practice note about growing lucerne in cool climates, and it really helped me picture how farmers adjust to tough weather with careful steps and timing. I once got so confused by data in school that I had to hire someone to take my online statistics class just to figure out the numbers for a plant growth chart. It made me think learning and farming both need patience and help.
