    Wes...you are correct. The root depth of alfalfa is the key to its tolerance to the heat and lack of moisture, ousr looks great. Even though we had an extremely dry year, our plots all look okay and we have a number of mature bucks to target. Good luck this year, Bob

    Thanks for the great information. I’ve been debating on planting alfalfa for the last few years. I’ve spread some out here and there but never went all out for a food plot and those spots are growing sporadic plants here and there. Next year I’ll make a full plot in alfalfa. We get 18” of annual precipitation.

      It’s a great plot, just make 100% certain you’re paying attention to the small details, soil ph, soil fertility, insects, clipping, and grass and weed pressure. Thanks for watching

    The last minute of the video says it all. My property would need a ton of work, time, and money to plant alfalfa. So I stay away from it. I planted clover, chicory, oats and rye. Last year I did corn and brassicas and the deer absolutely hammered them long before season. It’s important to plant what will work on your land and for your deer herd

      You are absolutely right, you gotta match what will work in your area, with budget, and management time, etc. many variables go into what food plots are the best to plant on our soils. Thanks for watching

      Glad to hear you have a plot up and going, it’s been dry for us here as well. If it weren’t for the hurricanes
      Coming up through the gulf we would be a desert right now. Thanks for watching and good luck this season!

    I’m in northwest Alabama. What do u recommend. Winter and summer food plots.👍🏻👍🏻

      Would have to look into climate and soil types for a more detailed answer…but it’s hard to beat crimson clover and oats for in the south. Thanks for watching

    The rain from Helene finally came through for us here in West Kentucky...5+ inches. Everything jumped up overnight but will only have about 30 days out before a heavy frost. I dont think alfalfa grows AFTER a frost, so still have to rely on a fall plot to last into hunting season. Your thoughts...

      Cow Peas grew all though the Drought for us, still doing good now and thanks to the rain have turnips and Balancia clover coming up under the Cowpeas.
      Cowpeas are just as drought tolerant as Alfalfa, they will. Last until.frost.

      We had very similar growing season last fall and my alfalfa came out this spring looking really solid. If it’s thin next spring you can fill in the thin spots with more alfalfa seed in the early spring. Other than that, the drought is forcing us to rely on the fall food plots! Thanks for watching and good luck this yesr
