That is beautiful. I still am not tough enough to do it. Clover just seems so much easier, but the drought tolerance of alfalfa makes me want to try it again.
Good job.

Great looking stand, Pat! Did the deer utilize it late into the year, or somewhat abandon it after several frosts? My alfalfa/brome grass hay fields have turned into mostly brome grass this year. The deer have really hammered the alfalfa in them this year.

I'd like to hear your opinion in this vs a perennial clover plot.

How do they utilize this later in the year? Hunting season wise?

Has anyone overseeded alfafa with radishes, winter rye or brassicas in late summer or early fall? I’m thinking for soil aeration and tilth and for late season attraction.

Need something for wet ground, but need to encourage usage. Do the deer use the trefoil much? What about the turkeys?
