Excerpt from Marketing Dehydrated AlfalfaThe price of dehydrated alfalfa has shown a general upward trend in the last 15 years, although the average annual price has declined somewhat since 1951. Seasonally, the price of the product fluctuates widely in comparison with that of other feed ingredients.Alfalfa for processing is generally purchased by the ton, dry weight, and on a cutting-to-cutting basis. The price for it depends somewhat on the cur rent market prices of dehydrated alfalfa On an average, the crop from about acres of alfalfa land was used by each dehydrating plant in 1954.Dehydrator operators do practically all their own harvesting of the crop. This requires much harvesting equipment in addition to processing equipment. During the busiest part of the producing season, an average of approximately 27 workers and 2 supervisors per plant are needed for all Operations. Only a few dehydrating firms have a full-time sales employee.In 1954, specialized storage facilities were available for only 700 tons of dehydrated alfalfa per plant, and ordinary storage facilities for about tons per plant.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
