Narrative
In the early 1900's, the Charlie Krause farm was used by N.E. Hansen of South Dakota State University as a breeding nursery. The Hansen alfalfa has persisted on the farm since that time. These seeds are from the original plants (seeded) of Semipalatinsk planted on the Krause homestead by Charlie Krause and Professor Hansen in the early 1900's. I think about 1920. These plants are in the north west corner of the farm. I was born in 1922 and I know they survived the 1930 drought, from 1930 through about 1935. (written on seed packet sent to Dr. Gary Bauchan, USDA, ARS in 2001 by Ruth Adam Krause, daughter of Charlie Krause). Based on planting year this may be from seed obtained in Semipalatinsk, Russia from N.E. Hansen's 1913 trip (S. Greene, NPGS Alfalfa Curator, 2007).
