Alfalfa is a perennial, cool season legume that grows 1-3 feet high and typically lives from 3-12 years. It produces quality hay and nutritious food plots for deer and turkey, and its high protein content makes it a popular choice for livestock feed as well. Alfalfa produces high yields, is resistant to drought, and increases soil nitrogen.

Planting information: Plant 18-25 Lbs./acre, 1/4 inch deep. Grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH above 6.5.
