Comments
This Kansas State University variety is considered one of the most consistent, widely adapted varieties in the Central Plains. Its yield record has been good, but its low forage production makes it less desirable than Jagger or 2174 for grazing systems. 2137 actually has fewer weaknesses and better consistency than Jagger in Kansas. Many farmers like to use 2137 in a blend with Jagger and possibly one other variety as a way to limit risk and get more uniform yield results.
