Yields vary by climate, cultivar and cutting cycle, but a well-managed irrigated lucerne field in South Africa typically produces between 400 and 700 bales per hectare per year across multiple cuts. Our own fields in Brits sit in that range.
Keep bales dry, off the ground (on pallets or a raised slab) and under cover with good airflow. Avoid plastic-wrapping sun-cured bales tightly — they need to breathe to stay green and prevent heating.

Lusern kan winsgewend wees as die water-, grond- en bemarkingskant reg bestuur word. Goed-bestuurde, besproeide lusernlande in Suid-Afrika lewer meestal tussen 400 en 700 bale per hektaar per jaar oor meerdere snitte, en die mark vir gehalte-bale en -pille bly konstant.
